Description

A statuesque plant that’s excellent for adding structure and height to a border. It has striking foliage and honey-scented, thistle-like flowers that bees adore.

Cut them and use them fresh or dried in your arrangements.

Care Tips

The seed heads can need some staking or metal supports to avoid damage in strong winds.
