- Caption / Description:
-
The Southern Globe Thistle (Echinops ritro) is an architectural plant with spherical deep blue bristly flowers. The large leaves are deeply divided and provide interest until the plant flowers in late summer. Echinops ritro is ideally suited to the back of a flower border, though requiring full sun. The flowers are attractive to many insects, and the seeds attract finches and other seed-eating birds.
