The acanthus hybrid ‘Morning Candle’ delights with its reliably abundant blooms and decorative, deep-green foliage. From June through August, numerous white flowers with delicate pink bracts appear, giving the plant an exotic charm. These develop into fantastic fruit clusters that remain an eye-catcher in the sunny flower bed well into winter. The decorative foliage remains a focal point throughout the entire gardening season and adds structure to the flower bed. In a sunny to partially shaded location with nutrient-rich, well-drained soil, ‘Morning Candle’ grows into a long-lived and low-maintenance perennial. Whether in a perennial bed or as a specimen plant, it adds stylish accents and is also a valuable food source for bees and other insects.
