ABOUT ACANTHUS (BEAR'S BREECHES):
There are about 20 species of Acanthus. They are perennial herbs
and subshrubs, mostly of Mediterranean origin. Typical flowers are
white or purplish with large spike-tipped bracts. Rich, well drained
soils are best. Due to their deep, thick roots some species can be
difficult to move once established.
Root cuttings are one means of propagation, and severed roots left
in the ground may give rise to new plants.
The Acanthus plant leant it's form to the ancient Greek Corinthian
column capitals.
We carry three types of Acanthus: their leaves are various shades
of purple, and appear spiny.

ABOUT ARCHILLEA (YARROW):
Archillea, commonly called Yarrow, is a very easy to grow perennial.
The archilleas can be very small or quite tall. The dwarf archilleas
are wonderful for rock gardens. The tall varieties are known for
their rich masses of flowers that appear from spring to mid-summer.
The Yarrow flowers lend themselves to drying and preserving. They
should be removed when they fade so the blooming period will be
prolonged.
Archillea are resistant to drought, and like full sun light. They
will tolerate poor soil, but do better when the soil is moist. They
should be divided about every four years to prevent crowding.
We carry several types of Achillea:

ABOUT DELPHINIUM (LARKSPUR):
Delphiniums are among the most popular flowers because of their
amazing flowers. Their tall spikes of flowers are shades of blue,
white, reddish, or yellow. Often the flowers have a contrasting
color at the center, called a "bee." They make excellent dried
flowers. The leaves are about 4" across, mainly at the bottom of
the plant.
Delphiniums are not hard to grow, although you will have to spend
some effort.
They prefer sun and well fertilized moist soil. If you cut back the
stalks after the first flower they will often flower again.
They like cool areas the best.
