Carthamus tinctorius
Safflower is a cut flower you must have! We tried it for the first time this year and it's a great choice. The stems are firm, strong, and woody. They grow beautifully straight, making them wonderful for arranging. Safflower can also be used unbloomed in the form of buds, as neutral green thistles. The flowers are prickly, but the stems and leaves are not, so it doesn't bother you when cleaning and arranging the material. Well, a lot could be said about safflower, it's simply a flawless piece. Zanzibar is an orange variegated variant.
