| Cirsium eriophorum, commonly known as woolly thistle, is a robust biennial plant native to Europe, often found in grasslands, meadows, and open woodland edges. It is characterized by its tall, spiny stems and large, purple flower heads surrounded by woolly, silver-gray hairs. The plant attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies and serves as an important nectar source in late summer. Woolly thistle plays a role in supporting biodiversity within semi-natural habitats and adds distinctive texture and color to the landscape. |
