Bull Thistle can grow to 2 metres high.


The flower is often almost circular in appearance.


Bull Thistle has a wide variety of habitats from fields, shores, ditches, vacant lots, dumps and other disturbed sites to clearings and trails.

It is a native of Eurasia and was first seen in this area in the 1830’s.


This is definitely not a plant to touch unless you are wearing gloves.
