Echinops, also known as small globe thistle, produces an inflorescence collection of inconspicuous flowers that are shaped like a spiky globe, about 2” across and has silvery-green thistle-like foliage. This spiny foliage continues up the flowering stem. The flowering stems can be branching or singular, depending on the health and vigor of the plant. It produces a large taproot, making it difficult to pull out or transplant once mature. Its native range is central and eastern Europe to Asia.
