A dramatic and highly attractive beauty, Dipsacus fullonum creates an impressive sight.Evergreen foliage remains through the winter months, hugging the ground and preventing weeds.In summer, tall stems rise to hold spiny, flowerheads in shades of mauve-blue. Being nectar-rich, your local bees and butterflies will visit to sample the sweet substance. As the bloom matures, goldfinches and other birds will delight in pulling out the seeds. A UK native, often found growing wild, Dipsacus fullonum is also known by many other names - a few being Common Teasel, Barber's Brushes or Adam's Flannel - and is an exciting addition to both fresh and dried floral arrangements.Dipsacus fullonum is a fully hardy biennial with an RHS hardiness rating of H7 so will not require any protection through the colder months. In maturity, this reaches a height of around 2m. and can spread up to 80cm and is best grown in moist, but well-drained soil in sun or part shade.
