The Softer Side of Thistles

The large flowers and abundant nectar are very attractive to many species of butterflies, hummingbirds, bees and moths. Many other species will also use other plant parts for food, including the leaves, stems, roots, flower heads and seeds. Seeds are attractive to seed eating birds such as such as the American goldfinch. More information can be found at... plants.usda.gov/factsheet/pdf/fs_cidi.pdf
