Thompson & Morgan Acanthus Mollis 9cm Potted Plant x 2, Purple

Transform your garden with the stunning Acanthus mollis, a majestic perennial that demands attention. Its glossy, deeply serrated foliage forms an attractive spreading clump that remains semi-evergreen in mild areas, providing year-round interest. From May to August, this plant produces vertical spires of elegant white flowers, each adorned with dark purple hoods that add a striking contrast. Acanthus mollis is the perfect choice for a specimen plant, creating a spectacular focal point in any garden. This hardy perennial thrives in sunny or lightly shaded spots, where it can reach a height of 1.5m (59") and spread to 1m (39"). With its low-maintenance nature, Acanthus mollis is easy to care for.
