Scotch Thistle Overview

Scotch Thistle Scotch Thistle (Onopordum acanthium) is a biennial plant that is native to the Mediterranean region but has become naturalized in various parts of the world, including North America and Australia. It's recognized for its tall stature, prickly leaves, and distinctive purple flower heads surrounded by spiky bracts. While considered an invasive weed in some areas due to its aggressive growth, Scotch Thistle has a historical and cultural significance. It has been used in traditional medicine for various purposes, such as promoting digestion and liver health. However, its spiny nature also led to its use as a deterrent to protect against grazing animals.
