While buying the plants for behind our back fence I couldn’t resist these, sort of, thistles. I can’t remember now what they are but they were on sale for three pounds and it said that they are really hardy and drought resistant.
I thought they would add a bit of height and colour to the driest parts of the garden.
A lovely pastel mauve colour
They add a bit of height and colour
I added four of them to the garden but the first is just slightly behind where I stood to take the photo. We have lost a few plants that got too dry so maybe these will be able to withstand our lack of watering.

I have seen some of these thistles, And they turn a lovely blue,Really pretty.
I have seen them on roundabouts recently so they can thrive on neglect. I think the thistle part is a really pretty blue and the leaves on my plants are some green and some varigated.
