Regular pruning of spent flowers helps maintain its vitality and aesthetics. This versatile plant has earned its place in the world of landscaping, adding timeless charm and a touch of classical beauty to garden landscapes.
Historically, the Acanthus leaf motif, inspired by the distinctive foliage of Acanthus mollis, has graced classical Greek and Roman architecture, particularly adorning Corinthian columns. Today, this enduring plant continues to captivate gardeners and horticulturists, making a statement with its exquisite leaves and unique flower spikes, all while connecting with a rich architectural legacy.
