Globe thistle

The Star Frost globe thistle is a pure white and compactly growing form of the globe thistle, which is naturally widespread in the region from Southern Europe to Central Asia. Its perfectly spherical flowers, about the size of a golf ball, float on sturdy stems above a clump of indented leaves. These are deep green on top and silvery grey-green on the underside, which gives the plant an interesting visual effect even before blooming. It acts as a striking feature in the garden, which is perfectly suited for natural and drought-tolerant plantings. The flowers are literally a magnet for bees, bumblebees, and butterflies, who find a rich food source on them. If you like creating bouquets, the globe thistle will thrill you with its long vase life. It is also excellent for drying into winter decorations, because it retains its shape and color even after drying. Even if you leave it in the flower bed, its firm structure will adorn the garden even in the winter months.
