Defiant and otherworldly. Crimson and silver. This western thistle is a plant of some certain magnificence. And, it most certainly is not a weed.

Named for the gauzy, cobweb-like fibers that enclose the young pre-emergent flower heads, this fast-growing, deer-resistant biennial (sometimes short-lived perennial) bears wildly beautiful woolly-silver foliage and the most gloriously contrasting vibrant red flowers.

Cobweb thistle is broadly adapted to western states (while technically native from northeast Oregon throughout most of California, and parts of Nevada). It’s a plant of coastal bluffs, chaparral slopes, and dry open habitats. It wants full sun and good drainage. Shade and saturated soils make it unhappy.

Behold the height and stature of cobweb thistle in a good growing conditions! Some individual plants find their joy at a modest 2- to 3-feet in height, while others may reach for the 8-foot mark! Flowers open beginning in late spring, and continue through summer, attracting hummingbirds and numerous species of butterflies.

Look to this plant for scores of yellow-faced bumble bees (Bombus vosnesenskii), ultra-green sweat bees (Agapostemon texanus), the northern resin bee (Anthidiellum notatum), the western leafcutter (Megachile perihirta), the California mason bee (Osmia californica), the forest mason bee (Osmia nemoris), and the Texas mason bee (Osmia texana).

Cobweb thistle is a caterpillar host plant to the painted lady butterfly (Vanessa cardui), the American lady butterfly (Vanessa virginiensis), the thistle plume moth (Platyptilia carduidactyla), the California crescent butterfly (Phyciodes orseis), and the Mylitta Crescent butterfly (Phyciodes mylitta).

The nutritious seeds of this plant are a favorite of finches.

Possibly the most showy and dramatic of North America’s native thistle species. An exceptional native garden specimen plant.

Approximately 12 to 20+ seeds (0.2 grams).

Colorful, Sturdy & Great Value
Color: Large Set of 4
Purchased for our two puppies when they were 2 months old and weighed about 14 pounds so theses balls were a little big for them to hold in their mouths but that didn't stop them from trying. While they did like these balls they much preferred softer soccer balls, the later of which did not hold up well at all. I had hoped they would play with these balls more when they were older but that hasn't happened 5 months later. I guess it's no fun if you can't tear the toy apart. Colors are very bright and they do enjoy chasing after them as long as I am the one rolling them across the room for them. Maybe when they progress to batting things with their paws they will start to do this for themselves.

3.5, Not 3.0
Color: Medium Set of 6
These balls were almost exactly what I needed. I was replacing my boy’s favorite ball, which is the 3” squeaky, spikey ball that fits in the chuck it launcher. Unfortunately I saw the shiny object next to it and because there were SIX balls and a dollar less, I failed to see that these are 3.5” balls instead of 3”…. Great balls but no fitty in the slingy. Buyer beware. No chuck it no problem. Save a buck.
