Cardoon
Cynara cardunculus, commonly known as Cardoon, is a striking perennial plant valued for its large, architectural presence and ornamental foliage. This plant features deeply lobed, silvery-gray leaves that can reach up to several feet in length, forming a dramatic mound. In summer, it produces tall flower stalks topped with purple, thistle-like blooms that attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Cardoon thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it an excellent choice for borders, ornamental gardens, or as a focal point in landscape designs. With its bold foliage and impressive height, Cynara cardunculus adds a touch of Mediterranean flair and visual interest to any garden setting.
