Description

Delicious to eat, lovely to look at.

While this sun-loving thistle variety is cultivated as a food, it also produces flowers and foliage that are a feast for the eyes! The emerging flower head consists of many small flower buds and bracts on an edible base. These purple, 3-6" blooms are gorgeously set off by the plant's striking silvery, prickly foliage. Great in back of a border and a dramatic cut flower. Dead flower heads can be left on the plants over the winter to provide visual interest.

Important Shipping Notes:

Breck's times its shipments from Holland so that bulbs and bareroots arrive at the proper planting time (depending on climatic conditions) for each area of North America. To promote optimum stress protection in transit and your success in the garden, bareroot perennials are kept in the ground in our nurseries until fully dormant. In the Fall, these plants tend to arrive at the later end of the shipping window below.

We will pack and ship your order based on the following schedules. The type of product you order or the weather may affect the anticipated shipping schedule below. Based on the contents of your order we always strive to ship your order complete, and as early as possible in the planting season to allow for the best root development once planted.
