Cirsium occidentale
"Cobweb Thistle"

“How wondrous!” you might say the first time you come upon this amazing (non weedy!) California native thistle. Bright cherry 1-2” bloom heads pop out from possibly the most striking flower buds ever – ghostly white cobwebby things held on long stems well above wooly & wavy silver-white leaves. Grows naturally on hot, dry slopes so provide well-drained soil or grow in a container. Great color & texture to mix with native grasses such as Festuca californica or native annuals like Layia platyglossa. Prefers non-fertile soil. Attracts butterflies. Easy! Deer resistant. To 3’ x 2’. Deciduous in colder zones.
