I am in zone 7b NW Texas (Chillicothe). Mine freezes to the ground--it is root hardy. I trim it to 6 inches in spring. It will grow to 3-4 ft tall, 3-4'wide.
@CoryAmesYT zone 6b But I have many plants rated at 7 and above. I've had a saw palmetto and agurita in the ground for over 10 years. Because I live on a solid limestone bluff I really can only grow supper drought resistant plants and succulents.
I think Acanthus will grow well for you in your zone so long as it has excellent drainage. I grew it in Albuquerque, NM (z. 7b) and while it would occasionally die back it would come back in the spring. Most winters only part of the tips would die back. Wait for it to leaf out to see where to cut it back to, after the threat of frost/freezes. Agarita by the way is super cold hardy. It grows in NM into zone 5 without damage!
Thank you for the information on Texas natives. Please make some more.

Thank you. I need this plant in my property.
I love it. It can be voracious! So keep that in mind. However, even now (late Oct. / early Nov.) it's STILL blooming, so I love it.

Great plant. I haven't planted one yet in my garden on an ozark bluff. I would have to protect it this far north.
ahh, you might need to. what zone are you?
