Reviews
Through sales generated from the National Trust seeds, a minimum of £7,500 will be given to the National Trust to help look after nature, beauty and history for everyone, forever.
Wild flower Dipsacus fullonum is better known as the humble Teasel. This statuesque, thistle-like biennial makes an architectural feature at the back of borders. In its second year, the stiff upright stems are topped with prickly domes of tiny purple-blue flowers. The blooms provide a valuable source of nectar for pollinating insects, and later as the seeds form, they will attract goldfinches to the garden. A fabulous addition to a wildlife garden, where it will self-seed to form attractive drifts. Teasels are undemanding plants, thriving on most soils including heavy clay. Height: 1.5m (5'). Spread: 45cm (18").

1 Packet (75 Seeds) (KA7463)
Sow February to June onto the surface of a good, free-draining, damp, seed compost. Cover with a very fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Place sown container in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag at a temperature of 15-20C (59-68F) until after germination which usually takes 1-3 months. Do not exclude light as this helps germination.
More Info Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into trays or 7.5cm (3in) pots. Gradually acclimatise young plants to cooler conditions for a few weeks before planting them in borders in sun or partial shade. Grow Teasel plants in any fertile, moist soil; including heavy clay soils.
Water teasel plants regularly until fully established. Dipsacus fullonum will self-seed freely. If seedlings are not wanted, deadhead stems of teasel flowers as the blooms fade. Alternatively leave the seed heads intact as a food source for birds.
