Let’s talk Acanthus Mollis, also known as bear’s breeches! 
 
The acanthus mollis is a part of the acanthaceae family, a flowering plant family that with an embryo that bears two plant seeds, which mostly includes herbs and shrubs. This beautiful plant is native to the Mediterranean but can also be found in southern Europe and other areas from  June to August. 
 
Its dramatic flower spikes, adorned with hooded blooms in shades of pink mauve (and sometimes white), attract bees and butterflies, adding life and movement to your space. 
 
Acanthus mollis thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil, making it perfect for creating lush, verdant corners in your outdoor oasis.
