Planting and Growing Information

Acanthus 'Morning Candle' thrives in USDA zones 6-9 in full sun to partial shade locations. Plant in well-drained, fertile soil in spring, spacing plants 24-36" apart to accommodate their impressive 44-48" mature height. In hotter regions, afternoon shade helps prevent leaf scorch. While drought-tolerant once established, consistent moisture during the first growing season ensures proper root development. Expect magnificent blooms from late spring through mid-summer, with the possibility of repeat flowering into early fall.
