Giant Thistle
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.
Elevated on upright, branched leafy stems, the densely packed dark crimson flowers have a tidy symmetrical appearance. Prickly, narrow cut green leaves form a slow spreading clump that appreciates moisture and works well in a natural-style planting, especially when associated with other opulent-blooming perennials like Papaver ‘Patty’s Plum’ or Astrantia ‘Moulin Rouge’.
Blooms July–September
Size: 4' 0" high x 20" – 2' 0" wide.
Hardy to zone 4.
