A very free flowering form of Bears breeches arisen from a cross between A. mollis and A. hungaricus. Deeply toothed, soft-spined, dark lustrous green leaves up to 3ft (1m) long. Tall spires of white flowers are protected by hooded purple bracts in late summer. Height and spread to around 1.6m x 1m. Any soil in sun or part shade. Great for a late summer show in pots (where it won't reach its full height) or in the ground.
