Plant of the Day

Saturday 7 January 2023

The biennial Dipsacus fullonum (common teasel) produces foliage in the first year and in the second tall flowering stems. The small blue flowers are great for bees while the seedheads remain throughout the winter providing a food source for birds such as goldfinches and providing an architectural feature.
