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.

    Good quality plants, well packaged for delivery. I have purchased from them before. There was a day's delay in the most recent delivery. It would be good to have messages giving despatch and delivery information.
