The Woolly thistle is a scarcer species of thistle that can be found on chalk and limestone scrub and grassland, especially in Central and Southern England; sometimes it can also be found on more disturbed ground, such as old quarries. Its cottony flower heads are distinctively round and appear from July to September. As with the other thistles, it is attractive to a wide range of insects.
