Cirsium Yezoense

Cirsium yezoense is a striking member of the thistle family known for its spiky, blue-purple flowers. Native to the mountainous regions of Japan, it thrives in cool, moist environments. This plant is often found in rocky soils and forested areas where it adds a unique visual element. Its dense foliage and sharp leaves make it both a challenging and rewarding plant to cultivate. Despite its tough appearance, Cirsium yezoense holds cultural significance in its native habitat.
