Old favourite: Acanthus mollis, bear’s breeches, from the Mediterranean. This winter herbaceous perennial emerges spectacularly from the soil in spring to produce towers of flowers. Never without bumblebees in cold temperate England. I discovered to my delight in warm temperate Sydney that if you cut them down to the ground after flowering finishes they flower again and produce a fresh set of leaves. You can even grow them in subtropical Brisbane. Easily raised from seed or division of clumps. Y

Keep an eye out for Acanthus mollis, also known as bear's breeches, as you walk the garden. Its fantastic tall form is covered with racemes of white flowers during the summer. . . . #acanthus #bearbreeches #flowers #trebah #trebahgarden #falmouth #gardening | Trebah Garden
