Acanthus mollis—Bear's Breeches or Oyster Plant Seeds

This is a wonderful garden classic. It's drought tolerant and easy to care for once established—just be sure that you have plenty of space for it. It will spread. It has rhizomes and can be considered invasive in some places.
This is an ancient plant. The name comes from Greek and this is the plant that inspired the floral motif on the capital of Corinthian columns. Acanthus mollis is native in the Mediterranean from Portugal and the tip of NW Africa east to Croatia.
