Has anyone ever heard of this? I found it on Plant Delights site, but can't afford to buy it at that price. If anyone has some to trade, let me know and I'll see if there's anything I might have of interest to you.
Acanthus 'Summer Beauty' (Bear's Breech)
This is a beautiful plant. It also comes in a vareigated form. Sorry Smilin, I only have one plant, would love to have more too.
ditto the one plant and it has been here 2 yrs and hoping to bloom this yr!!! beautiful in the books! =]
Hi! How about acanthus mollus from the spring hill catalog?
I have serveral that must have grown from seed as I moved my original 3 I purchased last year and now I have 3 more.
What's the difference between a. mollus and the one in plant delights? I can't tell the difference.
