Lovely plant! Like a decorative thistle. Would I be right in thinking that it hates the cold?

The bees final new treat of the summer.

Awesome! I only saw them for the first time this year in a walled garden. The bees were all over them. Definitely on my list to grow… Can you give any advice? Experience with them? Did they come back every year?

Mine are a few weeks ahead of yours and the leaves are dying back. Dunno what to do now. Tempted to prune down to the base. Any ideas?

Do they come from bulbs? And when do they need to be planted? A neighbour has them and I honestly thought it was Artichokes
