Acanthus spinosus

Morning all. #acanthus-spinosus buds just starting to appear 💜💚

Mine are at a similar stage... can't wait to see it in full flower as its the first flowering! How tall do they go?

Depends on where you have them @SylviaDavies If they're in full sun they can get really tall up to 1.5m

Ah right! its in partial shade and just a youngster yet! I may need to move it then!

Morning Julie 👋👋

They can be quite a thug and pop up a new plant from any roots left behind. In fact they can be quite be quite thuggish wherever they are and take over the borders 😂 Also quite prone to powdery mildew @SylviaDavies They are a lovely architectural plant but can be a pain

Morning Jane @pelly 🖐

Morning Julie , mine are going mad !!

Morning Julie 🖐 Think it's going to be a good year for them @juliesgarden

Morning all. #acanthus #spinosus looking fabulous 😍

Morning Julie. I so want one 😊

Morning Julie 🙋🙋🙋

Morning Julie! Fabulous indeed! Enjoy your day! 😀

Love it! And looking really healthy.. just bought my first one in the week so fingers crossed 🤞 it looks like this!

So jealous Julie. Mine are all leaves!!! @vec 😢

Morning Julie ......can't wait for mine to mature. Bought 3 but they are only babies. Super photo :)

Wow! 👏👌

Well I never. #Acanthus #spinosus has 2 flower buds after me saying to @jeatacake and @broughgardens that I'd have to wait another year 💚💚💚

🙌👏 what a nice suprise!

I am so chuffed Nick, been waiting a few years to have these back growing properly @broughgardens

It must have been listening! Better check mine tomorrow! 😀👍

Had a good look around the leaves on the other 2 and nothing yet @jeatacake I am so excited by this, it's a baby off my original mother plant that I couldn't dig out of my old garden

If the rain has stopped when I get home from work, then I'll definitely be checking to see if mine is flowering!

#acanthus-mollis Looks like we've got some good growth coming this year if you can see it past the #forgetmenots. Poor thing had lived in a pot for a few years during the house moves

#Acanthus spinosus

Is it as #rampant as Acanthus mollis?

#foliage

Yes if not kept in check. Got a picture in my garden two houses ago of it taking over. I will dig out a picture of it. This is a side shoot of the original ☺
