Inhabiting grassland in mountainous regions, Echinops
setifer
grows to approximately one meter in height. With long petioles,
leaves are in a long oblong shape, pinnately deeply cleft in lobes,
with margins with prickle-like, sharply pointed serrations. The
underside of the leaves, with arachnoid hairs, appears white. Flower
heads comprise single tubular flowers; when gathered together, they
form blue-purple ball-flowers approximately 5cm across, which bloom
on shoot apices and branch tips. Bloom time: August-September. |
