Acanthus mollis ‘Hollard’s Gold’ (Golden Bear’s Breeches)

Acanthus mollis ‘Hollard’s Gold’ is a striking evergreen to semi-evergreen perennial admired for its bold golden foliage and dramatic summer flower spikes. Its large, glossy, deeply lobed leaves create a vibrant architectural display throughout the year, bringing colour and texture to shaded borders, woodland gardens, and tropical-inspired landscapes.

In summer, tall flower spikes emerge above the foliage, carrying elegant white flowers highlighted with purple bracts that attract bees and other pollinators. Heat- and humidity-tolerant, this hardy, low-maintenance perennial thrives in a variety of garden settings, making it an excellent feature or mass planting for adding year-round interest.
