Echinops, commonly known as globe thistle, is native to Europe, Asia, and Africa. Like echinacea, it gets its name from the Ancient Greek word 'echinos' meaning 'hedgehog'  in reference to its spiny, globe-shaped seedheads.

Known for its resilience and toughness, it is also an ancient Celtic symbol for noble character. In Scotland, the Globe Thistle signifies bravery, often associated with warriors. This originates from a battle in the 15th century when invading Norman soldiers got stranded in a field of thistles while attempting a surprise attack at night. Their prickly predicament gave them away and the Scottish warriors successfully defended themselves against the enemy.

Beyond its resilience, the Blue Globe Thistle is also celebrated for its ability to attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies.
