Cynaria cardunculus
Cardoon

the garden or container. Plants are biennial and produce 5" round thistle
like flower heads with violet petals that make excellent dried flowers.

in zones 7a and colder. Give it excellent drainage and a good mulching if
you want to overwinter it in these zones. Height 2-3' (6'in flower) Spread
3'
