The Blue Globe Thistle
Category:Perennials Height:24-36 in. Spacing:15-18 in.
Thistle is the common name of a group of flowering plants characterised by leavs with sharp prickles on the margins, mostly in the family Asteraceae. Prickles often occur all over the plant – on surfaces such as those of the stem and flat parts of leaves. These are an adaptation that protects the plant against herbivorous animals, discouraging them from feeding on the plant.
