Globe thistle
Globe Thistle is an unmissable perennial that catches the eye at first glance with its architectural form and perfectly spherical flowers. Originally from warmer regions, it absolutely thrives in sunny and dry spots. It performs best in well-drained, even poorer sandy soil where other plants might struggle. It is an ideal choice for low-maintenance flower beds, adding height and interesting structure. Its sturdy stems carry thistle-like flower heads that can be steel blue or pure white. Besides attracting pollinators to your garden, the Globe Thistle is also very popular for cut flower bouquets and autumn arrangements. If you want to dry it, we recommend harvesting the stems before they are in full bloom. This way, the flower heads will retain their shape and color and won't fall apart after drying.
