CHRISTMAS WREATH | How to make a wreath using dried sustainable Teasel seed heads | Kirsty Wilson

Описание: Teasel known botanically as Dipsacus fullonum – Teasel is one of the most competitive of all wildflowers and for that reason is perfect for seeding fertile soils where it will often compete and grow well amongst tussocky grass. It also grows well on open waste ground, and is well-suited to damper clay soils, is often found within rough grassland alongside the edges of brooks and streams. Teasel is a tall stately plant with a purple flowers that appears in July and August. The seed heads are unusually attractive and often visited by goldfinches in search of the seeds. Over winter they can be used for flower decorations but a few left in place will provide a safe haven for a wide range of insect life.
