Southwestern thistle

Brenda Boysel on Aug 19, 2015I know it as Globe Thistle. Divide the plant at base by simply digging a small section from it. Making sure to dig deep enough to get the roots. Back fill the hole left with soil. Now plant the section where you want the new plant and water till established enjoy.Helpful Reply
