Cirsium rivulare 'Atropurpureum'

Definitely needs a #chelseachop 😂

I Chelsea-chopped a Catmint and some Loosestrife today - first time I've done it 😃

All the perennials have loved the rain. Usually I’d be doing my Lupins too but not this year as all about to flower which is nice as it means I’ll have blooms for longer 😄 @anges

The Catmint was flopping all over the place!! It felt good to give it a chop! 😆

So pleased with this this year. It’s trebled in size and so many flowers. Time to divide I think! 💓

I love this 😍

Going to have a go at growing some from #seed as I love this plant bought from #gwl this year and have loads of seedheads 😁

Thistles really are a cool flower

Looks like it’s been woven 💕🐝💕

Looks like a carpet...😉💞

Yay!! Blooms! One of my buys from #gwl 💕💕

Yay! Flowers forming from one my GWL buys 😁😁

Last plant from #gwlive wanted this one for my #tropical bed as the leaves are amazing. Not to mention the fab #pink #thistle on top which the 🐝 and 🦋 will love 💕

You will love this one, it's superb and always covered in wildlife 😍😍
