Acanthus hungaricus 'White Lips' 1G (Bears Breeches)

This selection of the Southeastern European native boasts multiple upright flower spikes covered in pure white flowers hooded by deep purple bracts. The long, deeply lobed foliage lacks the spine of its relative Acanthus spinosus but forms a similarly beautiful basal rosette that lasts through the growing season. Cut flowers hold well in a vase and also dry beautifully for arrangements. Synonymous with Acanthus balcanicus ‘White Lips’.
