Globe Thistle Flower Seed Overview
Globe Thistle flower seed blooms in a shade of purple and blue up to 1 3/4 inches in diameter . The flower heads provide good color before opening, thus prolonging the season. It has thistle-like foliage with 6"-8" leaves with distinctive spines. Globe Thistle is a fairly drought tolerant, low maintenance plant.
If the initial blooms on Globe Thistle are deadheaded, several smaller, shorter blooms will appear. Globe Thistle has plenty of flower seed, so it is a good self seeder, and dead heading will help slow that process a bit. In richer soils, the plant might grow so much as to require staking. The basal leaves deteriorate quickly, so best to plant low-growing plants next to the Globe Thistle. Hands can be cut by foliage and flower, so best to wear gloves when handling.
To dry: These fuzzy blossoms also dry well. Cut stems, hang upside down in dry, ventilated place.

The aeration portion of LazyMan Liquid Gold is uniquely formulated to reduce crusting, loosen up hard clay soils, aggregate sandy soil, and allow water and oxygen to better reach plant roots by reducing the surface tension between the water and the soil.
