Bears Breeches | Acanthus mollis ‘Bears Breeches’

Bears Breeches (Acanthus mollis) is a bold, architectural perennial prized for its dramatic foliage and tall flower spikes. The large, glossy, deeply lobed leaves create a lush backdrop, while the towering spikes of white and purple blooms rise in late spring to early summer, adding elegance and texture to the garden. Long associated with classical design, this plant has inspired decorative motifs in art and architecture for centuries.
