Bear's Breeches (Acanthus mollis) |
Have Perennial Medicinal |
Originally in the hosta bed, where it never bloomed, then moved to porch bed where it also never bloomed. 2014 moved to front bed, still no bloom. 2020 still in all 3 spots (roots must have regrown when I moved it). I've never seen a bloom, but it gets nice foliage in late summer/fall. Give this a slug ring. Compressed leaves will bring down swellings. Roots ooze a slime useful in a compress for burns, dislocation, and gout. Watch for slugs. Green foliage mid Dec |
