Teasel (Dipsacus Sativus) seeds. Teasel is a biennial plant to zones 3- 9. It can reach a height of 6 feet tall and 3 wide. Sometimes called Indian Teasel or Fuller’s Teasel. It is used for dried floral arrangements and crafting. Teasel likes sun. Once established they need very little care and are fairly drought tolerant. Deer do not bother Teasel. The first year they will not flower but will be a leafy rosette. In the second year, tall stems will form with flower heads that are 3 inches, cylindrical-shaped and made up of a mass of tiny flowers. The flowers are usually lavender colored and bloom in a band from the bottom of the flower head to the top, lasting about a month. To keep Teasel plants in the garden, let a few of the flower heads go to seed. The Teasel flower seeds will drop and self-sow. If you do not want your teasel to spread, directly after flowering, either cut them off or put a mesh pouch tied around the flower head to control seed. The mature plants are quite prickly to work with as well as the leaves in the first year. Put the seed in the refrigerator for 3 months and then push onto moist soil and keep moist and in light until it germinates in approximately 21 days. Sowing in the fall for spring germination is usually best. Germination rate isn’t the greatest so plant a few seeds per one plant wanted. Space plants 3 feet apart. 50 seeds per pkg.
