Hybrid Acanthus between A. mollis and A. spinosus, introduced by the Beth Chatto Gardens. 

Acanthus is an amazing deer-resistant perennial whose large, glossy, deep green foliage adds interest even without the dramatic flower spikes. They can take a variety of conditions, but in dry summers, they are best grown in bright shade with regular water. 'Collin's Folly' has particularly lovely blooms with large, soft purple bracts around white tubular flowers. 

Mature size: 18-30 in T x W, flower spikes to 5ft T

Minimum temperature: -10° F

Carefully packed for each plant

Once your order is ready, we bring the plants from our greenhouses into a holding area. Each plant is wrapped by hand and, when needed, staked to protect tender stems. Because our inventory is so diverse, we adjust the packing method for each plant based on its size, type, and stage of growth.

We reuse clean paper and plastic packing materials whenever practical. It is easier on the planet and helps keep shipping costs down for you, too.

Choose your Monday ship date

At checkout, choose from the available Monday ship dates. We ship with UPS from Monmouth, Oregon, and you will receive an email with tracking information when your shipment is prepared or enters the UPS system.

Arrival times vary by destination and weather, so we cannot guarantee a specific delivery date or time.
