Cirsium
Giant Thistle
Beckoning bees, butterflies and birds, our intensely colored cut-flower-perfect Cirsium selections are the most coveted of all garden-worthy thistles.
While calling this chipper pincushion-like flower ‘blue’ is a bit of a stretch, its saturated heather-purple color is sure to please. The vivid nectar-rich blossoms are a pollinator’s delight, surmounting upright slender stems that rise from narrow green leaves laced with a subtle silver sheen.
Blooms July–September
Size: 4' 0" high x 20" – 2' 0" wide.
Hardy to zone 4.
