Acanthus mollis

I have one of those and I am waiting patiently to see mine flowering too Michaella it has been moved as it did not like where it was at and it is growing like crazy now. How exciting we shall be able to compare. lol. :O)

think its nickname is Bears Breeches. lol. :O)

Yes, it is. Can't wait...I did a search on the internet about it, it said that it can spread quite quickly. Well anyways, where it is planted, it cannot spread very far.

I planted mine firstly in a spot where I thought it would spread and it struggled, so moved it to where it is now. It has never flowered think this is its fourth year. But after saying that at least it is growing and enjoying its spot where it is, so I might get rewarded for persistence. :O)
