Acanthus will make a good choice as a vigorous and imposing specimen plant for a border that’s not too hot in summer, in sun or dappled shade. Give it plenty of room to spread and deep mulch in the autumn to protect from cold winds and frosts.

Cut back old stems after flowering.

    I rarely write reviews but I must recommend this excellent nursery. It is the best nursery I have used for online ordering. Rang them first with some questions and they were most helpful. Then did my order of heathers and they were sent and arrived promptly in great condition and are very healthy looking plants.
