Globe thistle I like the article

Cultivation Globe thistle
The Globe thistle develops like a perennial herb. Growing they develop a round-shape shrub. Globe thistle isn't an evergreen; during the summer it assumes a blue colouring; the adult species are large in size and reach 1,5 m in height.

Light Globe thistleSole pieno
Plant which need at least a few hours a day of solar light. The Globe thistle bears even very harsh temperatures, therefore it can be grown outdoors without feeling endangered by low temperatures.Usually during the coldest periods of the year the aerial part of these plants dries; it will begin to develop again the spring after.

Water Globe thistleTenere asciutto
We suggest watering these plants with 2-3 glasses of water only when the soil is perfectly dry, generally it needs to be watered about every 1-2 weeks . Let's avoid to exceed. Generally during the period of vegetatational rest it isn't necessary to water our perennial plants, which in many cases lose their aerial part.

Pests Globe thistle
The spring weather, with a high temperature swing between the day and night hours, and pretty frequent rains, can favour the development of fungus diseases, which should be treated pre-emptively with a systemic fungicide, to use before the gems grow excessively; at the end of the winter we also suggest a wide range insecticide to prevent the attack of aphids and cochineals. We should always remember to do these treatments when there aren't flowerings in the garden.

Mold Globe thistle
Grow these perennial plants in a very well drained substratum.
