Globe Thistle

Wow...they are beautiful....do you think they'd grow in a one of my raised beds? the one i have in mind is pretty shady in more ways than one right now! Not for long though hopefully...i have some globe artichokes in which so far are doing pretty well. They'd compliment them well I think.

great photo

Thanks Amyclaire,they should be fine in a shady area,ours grow beside the neighbours shed and are in half shade,the ground is also fairly damp,the bees love them.
