How to Care for the Plant

Water
Grows best in poor, well-drained soil in full sun but will tolerate most soils. Water occasionally.
Pruning
Cut back after flowering for a second flush of flowers. Deadhead to prevent self-seeding.
Sunlight
Globe thistle plants need a full day of sun to remain compact and bloom well. If used as part of a foundation border, plant them on the east or south side of the home.
