Acanthus sennii
A most unusual and striking species from the highlands of Ethiopia, a shrub to 3 ft or more with silvery green leaves, to about 3" wide with spines on ruffled edges, and spikes of bright orange-red flowers in summer into autumn. Drought tolerant once established but accepting of summer water in full to part sun with good drainage. The tops are frost hardy into the low 20s F, dying back but resprouting with vigor to at least the low teens, lower USDA zone 8, and even lower with mulch.
