If Thistle and Globe amaranth had a baby it would be Globe Thistle.

You can start these early in pots or direct sow in spring. They prefer sunlight to germinate so cover very lightly with a light dusting of peat, or in pots with a small amount of sand or vermiculite.

By nature these are a dry sandy desert plants, and while technically a perennial, we have found they do not like our traditional garden soil if it is moist during the summer months. We find it helpful to incorporate some coarse sand in our garden bed when sowing these.
