Acanthus
 

Hi all,

Lots of foliage but no flower spikes on my acanthus this year!

Anyone any ideas why this should be???

Dunno - I have several plants which *LOOK* like acanthus, grown from
sweet tamarind beans (not the tamarind tree, whose leaves resemble
accacia) and these have never flowered - mind you, they're only two
years old.

I've looked in all sorts of books, but can't find any info on sweet
tamarinds. (I can recommend them though...)

Perhaps too wet last summer? One lot I have are flowering fine [well-drained bed]; the others are reluctant.
