BLUE GLOBE THISTLE
APPROXIMATE SEED COUNT PER PACKAGE: 100
All seed was grown in an open pollinated environment & harvested by hand here at Barefoot Ridge.
We cleaned, sorted and packaged all with care so you can share in the magic of growing all of these beautiful plants next season!
When to plant: You can sow seeds directly in the garden in the fall or start them indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost.
Where to plant: Globe thistles prefer full sun and well-drained soil. They can tolerate partial shade and grow well in poor, sandy, or rocky soils.
How to plant: Press seeds into the soil surface and lightly cover them with soil. You can also sow seeds indoors in a soil-less mix and press them into the mix without covering.
Germination: Germination can take 10–20 days indoors and 2–4 weeks outdoors, depending on temperature.
Watering: Water regularly while establishing, then only during especially dry, hot spells.
Transplanting: Once seedlings have produced the first two pairs of true leaves, you can pot on and then plant out as soon as well rooted.
Deadheading: Deadhead the blooms in early fall to control where the plant grows. You can also cut back to the ground in autumn to keep the ball-shaped seed heads.
Dividing: You can divide established globe thistles by digging out a large rooted section in spring or autumn. However, the large taproot makes it difficult to divide or transplant a mature globe thistle plant successfully.
