Globe thistle produces long-lasting masses of globular, spiked, violet-blue flowers on solid tall 75-90 cm stems. Thistle-like foliage is finely cut with a saw-tooth shape tipped with not- too-prickly spines. A pollinator favourite, in particular, bees! Other than cutting down the stems after flowering is finished, Globe Thistle is about as a low-maintenance plant as it gets! Hardy to Zone 3.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Globe Thistles” as they are commonly referred to, are large, dramatic plants that are impressive in the garden, or as dried flowers. Start indoors in a soil-less mix in early March. Press seeds into the mix, but do not cover as light aids germination. Germinate at 21° C, then grow under lights at a slightly cooler temperature then harden off and transplant to a sunny spot in the garden. Seed can also be directly sown in the garden in August and early September for flowering in the following year. Germination occurs in 10-20 days.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OSC Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41061978243209,"sku":"H1000208","price":2.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/3576\/1033\/files\/OSCEchinopsGlobeThistle.png?v=1760796503"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.scottsnurseryonline.com\/collections\/globe-thistle-seeds.oembed","provider":"Scott's Nursery Ltd.
