Plant description
This ornamental thistle adds bold vertical interest and rich colour to summer borders. It produces deep purple, pincushion-like flowerheads held on strong, red-tinged stems, rising above a base of divided, prickly-edged foliage. The blooms appear over a long period, especially with regular deadheading, and are highly attractive to bees and butterflies.
Cirsium rivulare ‘Trevor’s Felley Find’ is a sun-loving, clump-forming perennial whose silvery green foliage forms a neat mound, while the tall flowering stems provide contrast in naturalistic and wildlife-friendly planting schemes. Leave late-season flowers to fade for decorative seedheads that may attract finches.

How to care for Cirsium rivulare Trevors Felley Find (PBR):
Cirsium thrives in moist, well-drained soil in full sun. Water well until established, especially in dry periods.
Cut back faded flower stems to encourage a second flush of blooms and prevent excessive self-seeding.
In autumn, trim plants to ground level to maintain a tidy appearance. Every few years, divide congested clumps between autumn and spring to rejuvenate growth and improve flowering.
