Cirsium vulgare, the spear thistle, bull thistle, or common thistle, is a species of the Asteraceae genus Cirsium, native throughout most of Europe, Western Asia, and northwestern Africa. It is also naturalised in North America, Africa, and Australia and is an invasive weed in some areas.

Bull thistle (Cirsium vulgare) is a biennial herbaceous plant (a type of bull thistle) grows between three to seven feet tall.  It forms a four to eighteen inch wide rosette in its first year and blooms in its second year.

The Bull thistle was used by early humans as a warm medicinal tea. The roots were also good against poor digestion and helped treat stomach cramps. The leaves were used to treat neuralgia.  The roots of bull thistle have been used as a poultice and a decoction of the plant used as a poultice on sore jaws. A hot infusion of the whole plant has been used as a herbal steam for treating rheumatic joints.  (we use it as tincture, balm, tea, instead of spinach on our meals, etc, all year round)

Bull thistle root can be eaten and is best used when mixed with other vegetables. Young flower stems can be cooked and young leaves can be eaten in a salad or tossed into a sauté. The taste is somewhat bland but the prickles MUST BE removed from the leaves before the leaves can be eaten!

*SEEDS DISCLAIMER* Most specialty seeds we offer are NOT fast to germinate.  Many take several weeks, months, and some even up towards a year depending on dormancy, region, season etc. It is important that the buyer understands that seeds are perishable products and seed germination can be adversely affected by such factors as mold/fungus, bugs, temperature, moisture content, light intensity, dormancy, care, contamination of planting media among many other reasons. Germination recommendations are sent with each order and the buyer is free to research and use their own methods. Floating seeds do not always indicate that the seed is not viable. Many times, it is a misconception because the seed does not have the density to sink in water. Accordingly, The Plant Attraction does not guarantee seeds to perform properly regardless of conditions or buyer's methods or soil/water/lighting.
