   The first and most important thing to recognise is that some of the plants listed below can be rather thuggish – they can be invasive plants and can quickly become irritating weeds if you do not take care.1Thistle management and control.

   1) ‘Scottish Thistle’

   While it is likely to be one of the common plants that spring to mind when you think of the thistle, this national emblem of Scotland, chosen by Sir Walter Scott, is not actually a native plant.6Scotch Thistle. (n.d.). National Records of Scotland. Retrieved March 27, 2023, from https://www.nrscotland.gov.uk/research/archivists-garden/index-by-plant-name/scotch-thistle#:~:text=The%20plant%20we%20know%20as,accepted%20as%20a%20national%20emblem. It is believed to have been introduced in Europe...

   2) Spear Thistle

   The spear thistle, common thistle or bull thistle is the most likely candidate for the true Scottish thistle. This is also abundant in Scotland and native throughout much of the UK. This also has great benefits for wildlife, and has limited culinary uses. The root can be cooked and is somewhat akin to Jerusalem artichoke – and the flower buds can also be cooked and eaten. The dried flowers can also be used as a rennet substitute in cheese making.7Rylander, S. (2021, June 11). A Brief History...

   3) Melancholy Thistle

   A plant found in upland pastures in the north of the UK, it is common to see it in hay meadows, open woodlands and along streams and woodland verges. It could be another thistle to include in your garden. Unlike other thistles, it does not have prickles. Its leaves have a dense white felt underneath and it has single purple, thistle-like flowers.

   10) Carline Thistle

   The Carline thistle produces distinctive brown-and-golden flower heads that resemble a seeded thistle. This spiny biennial plant thrives on dry, chalk grassland in England and Wales. They create interest over a long period, the flower heads look like a thistle that has gone to seed, but they are actually in full flower. And the dead heads then persist, often through winter to the following spring.

   11) Common Knapweed

   Common knapweed is frequently found on all sorts of grasslands around the UK. It has thistle-like purple flower heads and like the true thistles described above, attracts a wide range of wildlife including many native butterfly species including common blues, marbled whites and meadow browns.13Common Knapweed or Black Knapweed.

   12) Blue Sow Thistle

   A rare native of Scotland, the blue sow thistle is a perennial hardy to UK zone 4. It thrives in partial or dappled shade and prefers moist soil, and the limited sites where it grows in Scotland are at the edge of its native range. It is a protected species in the UK – if you live in the Highlands then perhaps you could be involved in conservation efforts by cultivating this flowering thistle-like plant. Even in other areas, it can make a good garden plant.

   When does a milk thistle flower?

   • Milk thistle is an annual, full-sun plant that germinates in late winter in our climate zone (Ag Zone 7b). It flowers and goes to seed from May – early June, after which the plants die. Each milk thistle flower contains dozens of seeds, which soon fall from the plant as the flower head matures, dries, and begins to turn brown.
