Planting and care

This plant is very easy to cultivate on a slope where, with the addition of gravel to improve drainage, they live for a long time. This is the largest of the teasels, requiring a cool, moist, even clay soil to thrive. Its only flaw is being less hardy. Brief cold periods to  -12° (10.4°F) are harmless. Resistant to cold in a dry and poor soil, it languishes without becoming spectacular; superb in a wet soil, it dislikes the cold. Ideal on the coast.
