Detailed Description:
Acanthus ‘Flame’ is a striking perennial valued for its large, deeply lobed foliage and dramatic flower spikes in summer. The tall stalks carry hooded orange blooms, adding bold vertical texture to shaded borders. It grows best in part shade with protection from harsh afternoon sun and appreciates consistent moisture in well-drained soil. In winter, the foliage may die back, but new shoots emerge in spring. Use it as a specimen or backdrop plant in mixed beds where its architectural leaves and flowers can stand out.
