Teasels are probably most commonly known for their brown,
prickly stems and conical seed heads which persist long after the plants
themselves have died back for the winter. Between July and August, when Teasels
are in flower, the spikey flower heads are mostly green with rings of purple
flowers.
Found in damp grassland and field edges, or on disturbed ground, such
as roadside verges and waste grounds, Teasels are visited by bees when in
flower, and birds when seeding.
