Globe Thistle 'Arctic Glow'

Here is a Globe Thistle with large round white flowers that work beautifully with the large architectural silver-green leaves and reddish stems of the plant. This is a great plant to bridge the gap between more colourful flowers or plant it in a silver-white themed garden. It flowers from June through September and looks great even when not in bloom. Flowers are excellent for fresh cutting or drying and bees and other pollinators can’t stay away from it. Cut back in the late fall or do as we do and leave standing for winter interest.
