Have the big leaf and the skinny leaf one,the big one never blooms,in fact doesn't even really start growing much until fall,I really don't think they are hardy much here,but I like them.
Is your bears breaches blooming now??
Mine is just putting up blooms,I love them,I sure like the leaves on yours Tman!
Hey root,we can make a trade for some,yes my leaves are very chartuse green looking,but I like the look of yours,my other one has a larger rounded leaf pattern
Sure Tman,mine is Acanthus Spinosus.
Well thats what mine is!!!!tHE SKINNY LEAF
I have some A. Mollis . Seem to just be lazing around waiting for the next free meal. It has been a very wet , cold spring and the ground hasn't warmed enough for anything to really get going yet =((

Yes scooter the acanthus Mollis is the big greicen leaf one that I also have just can't take the heat here,or the sun burns it badly.
Bummer =((
I've got one and it's never bloomed....although this year it came up early,it usually won't even show a leaf till now.....
mine is dead :( but your pics are great
Sorry to hear that not martha.
CCis yours getting enough sun?
full sun.....maybe some dappled sun in mid morning......
I'll take a picture tomorrow.....
I've been told its not hardy here.........
Yeah me too,heck I have brugs and elephants ears that must have had a few roots left in the ground where I dug them up last fall, coming up all over the place!Course we had a mild winter,only snowed 3 times.
