This native teasel is just the job for a bright and sunny wild flower border where the bristly, thistle-like flowers and subsequent seedheads attract bees and goldfinches. Good for dried flower arrangements too.

We should all be planting more wildflowers - they not only look beautiful, but are invaluable for attracting many beneficial insects to our gardens. Easy to grow and care for, they'll naturally self-seed, providing colour for many years.
