Teasel (Dipsacus fullonum) Seeds

An extra-tall plant which bears a band of little, lavender-coloured florets around its better-known spiky round flower head. An excellent wild garden plant, as it grows and naturalises well in any environment, and its seed heads are known for attracting birds and pollinating bugs, for those happy to co-exist with nature!
