The Hungarian acanthus, or spiny bears breech, is a semi-evergreen perennial with an upright growth habit. This spiky plant has beautifully lobed leaves and blooms in summer with stunning veined white-pink/purple flowers, perfect for cut arrangements. It’s best to protect the plant during winter, as it can be susceptible to frost damage. Planting in well-fertile, sufficiently moist soil is essential for its success.
