Being grown mostly for its notable thistle-like blooms, the Basket flower will spice up anyone's garden with its natural beauty. Basket flowers are noted for their distinct pattern that forms on the base of the plant's inflorescence, closely resembling the weave of a traditional basket. They have impressively large pink-purple petals with a creamy center and a distinct sweet and honey-like fragrance. The fluffy seedheads that develop after their blooming period produce large, nutritious, sunflower-like seeds that are enjoyed by visiting birds. Many enthusiasts grow them for their impressive appearance in cut flower displays, either fresh or dried.
