(Ri-ben-zu-duan) Herbaceous perennial native to China. With spreading branches topped by myriads of strange, lovely, creamy-flowered, spiny cones, the plant can be used as a central attraction for the herb garden. Fervently visited by bees, it is very tough, drought-tolerant and not particular about soil. Very different from common wayside teasel. Traditional use (TCM): liver and kidney tonic, lower back pain, Lyme’s disease. Plant prefers regular garden soil, even moisture, full sun. Space 1 foot apart
Packet of 30 seeds, untreated, Open Pollinated, NO GMOS

Hello Paige,
We grew a big patch of this and it appears to be overwintering well. We won’t have seeds until midsummer or so, 2019.
