Dipsacus Pilosa // Teasel

A firm favourite with Jess- teasel’s height gives a wildflower patch or border some lovely structure. When its spiky purple flowers die, the beauty continues- the dead seed head on its tall stem over winter is a stunning sight. Birds such as goldfinches feast on the plentiful seed contained within, at a time when not much food is available.

This is a biennial plant- it will grow its foliage for the first growing season and then the flower for the second.

Harriet's Tip: Grow at the back of a wild border to give that structural interest and plant out as soon as you receive your teasel so their roots can develop well. Save the seed heads and dot them around your garden where you want future teasel.
