Though they're short-lived perennials, the wildlife loves this plant and the Field Thistle isn't that really hard to grow. They produce a basal rosette during its first year while the flowers appear on its 2nd year. When it does, they boast in lavender-pink pincushion-like flowerheads that are very attractive to bees, beetles and butterflies for its nectar. The flowers give way to seeds with long plumes which facilitate dispersal by wind. Just give them either a full sun or partial shade with soil with average or dry moisture, then they'll grow properly without giving you a headache.
