Description
Teasel Plug Plants Dipsacus fullonum
Common names include wild teasel or Fuller's teasel.
Teasel is a striking biennial wildflower commonly found in meadows, grasslands, and along roadsides. Known for its tall, spiky stems and large, cone-shaped flower heads, this native plant adds texture and height to any garden. The flowers, which start as purple or pink and mature to a silvery-white, are a magnet for pollinators, particularly bees and butterflies. As the season progresses, the dried seed heads provide a vital food source for birds, especially finches. Ideal for wildlife and cottage gardens, teasel thrives in well-drained soil with plenty of sun, but can also tolerate some shade.
Our strong, healthy plants are grown in 40cc cell trays and are ready to be planted in their final position.
Sourced from native seed and grown for us in the UK, our plug plants are an ideal way to boost species in a wildflower meadow or to easily establish plants in your garden or in areas where seed germination can be erratic.
We recommend planting 5 plugs per metre square in groups of at least 3 per species for a naturalistic look.
