Beschreibung

The alpine man thistle, alpine thistle, or the blue thistle belongs to the family of umbelliferae (Apiaceae). The Alpine thistle occurs naturally exclusively in mountainous areas, in the Alps as well as in the Jura. It grows up to 80 cm tall. The prickly perennial belongs to the thistles, as do all man-stems. It blooms from July-September with ovate to cylindrical, blue flower umbels, with weakly spiny, pinnately lobed bracts & collars. It is grown as an ornamental plant and also used as a medicinal plant to some extent. Popular with bees.

Anbautipps

Winter hardy outdoors. Preplant in sand in fall, sow in spring. Cut back in fall. Self-seeds, otherwise divide for propagation. Cold germinator. Good neighbors: rock medlar, forsythia, gladiolus, bluebells, hyacinths, crocuses, carnations, peonies, flame flowers, roses, splendid chartreuse, tender feather grass, bluebunch oats and daffodils/daffodils. Do not plant on the north side of a house or under tall shrubs or trees, as it will not get enough sun there.
