Product Description

Acanthus mollis Tasmanian Angel - Acanthus mollis Tasmanian Angel: Large, Handsome Leaves Sport Gold in Spring, White in Summer A stylish new look for the classic favorite Bear's Breeches, Tasmanian Angel begins spring with new leaves of dark blue-green edged and freckled in gold. As the weather warms, the gold turns to yellow, then ivory, and finally pure white, all the while calling attention to these large, deeply lobed leaves.Developed in Tasmania from the European species of Acanthus, Tasmanian Angel flourishes in enriched, moist soil. In late spring, a giant 5-foot spike rises from the center of the plant, studded with white buds. The buds burst open into powder-pink blooms that remain for weeks, held well above the foliage (which reaches just 20 inches high) like a pennant of soft color in the lightly shaded garden.Tasmanian Angel reaches about 3 feet wide, and makes a nice presence in large containers as well

Customer Reviews

Beauty from Tazmania is a true Angel
This one is a show stopper! Big hearty leafs that can be speckled like the photo here, or can be completely white with gold flakes. Variation varies, but even the leaves that are completely green are beauties. This reminds me of the big Yuca's in that you have the foliage clumped at the bottom and then a huge stalk with white/pink flowers rising up from the middle of the plant, but not nearly as painful to touch! Can be potted or in a semi shaded area, just make sure you give it room to be admired by all that see it!
