Defiant and otherworldly. Crimson and silver. This western thistle is a plant of some certain magnificence. And, it most certainly is not a weed.

Named for the gauzy, cobweb-like fibers that enclose the young pre-emergent flower heads, this fast-growing, deer-resistant biennial (sometimes short-lived perennial) bears wildly beautiful woolly-silver foliage and the most gloriously contrasting vibrant red flowers.

Cobweb thistle is broadly adapted to western states (while technically native from northeast Oregon throughout most of California, and parts of Nevada). It’s a plant of coastal bluffs, chaparral slopes, and dry open habitats. It wants full sun and good drainage. Shade and saturated soils make it unhappy.

Behold the height and stature of cobweb thistle in a good growing conditions! Some individual plants find their joy at a modest 2- to 3-feet in height, while others may reach for the 8-foot mark! Flowers open beginning in late spring, and continue through summer, attracting hummingbirds and numerous species of butterflies.

Look to this plant for scores of yellow-faced bumble bees (Bombus vosnesenskii), ultra-green sweat bees (Agapostemon texanus), the northern resin bee (Anthidiellum notatum), the western leafcutter (Megachile perihirta), the California mason bee (Osmia californica), the forest mason bee (Osmia nemoris), and the Texas mason bee (Osmia texana).

Cobweb thistle is a caterpillar host plant to the painted lady butterfly (Vanessa cardui), the American lady butterfly (Vanessa virginiensis), the thistle plume moth (Platyptilia carduidactyla), the California crescent butterfly (Phyciodes orseis), and the Mylitta Crescent butterfly (Phyciodes mylitta).

The nutritious seeds of this plant are a favorite of finches.

Possibly the most showy and dramatic of North America’s native thistle species. An exceptional native garden specimen plant.

Approximately 12 to 20+ seeds (0.2 grams).

Very soft and thick
Size: 2' x 3' (Oblong)
The sheepskin is very soft and fluffy. The color is good. It has a little bit of an odor which I assume will air out quickly. The other reviews mentioned that it came with a comb. Mine didn't come with a comb. It also was a little more oblong than I expected, but it looked like the pictures in the description. I got it to use as a prayer rug, and it fits in the space I had planned for it.

Decent choice but still not real sheepskin, hence the price.
Size: 2' x 6' (Oblong)
Like it very much and am using it on a massage table for clients. Cozy and well priced this one, just know it’s not real and does have synthetic fibers throughout.

Very nice quality

I ordered three of these, and they arrived promptly and very well packaged in a vacuum seal pack. Once you pull them out, shake them and fluff them a little bit they lose their wrinkles pretty quickly. They seem to be very good quality and are authentically sheepskin. The “white” has a tiny little bit of a yellow undertone, which is what I expected since it’s basically a dyed sheep skin. I would call the white color “natural” rather than white white. They are very thick and were a good price. I ordered two of the three foot-long hides and one 6ft foot hide. One of the hides had a slight odor to it that reminded me a little bit of eggs. It’s been laying on my bench all night and 24 hours later there is no smell. The other two hides had zero smell at all. I think it’s just a little leftover chemical smell from the treatment of the hide when they get it ready. It wasn’t overwhelming or overpowering. If you’re looking for the ultimate SUPER plush sheepskin, I recommend the Overland Sheepskin Company. However, for what I need these for which is just something to throw over my dining room table bench for a little cushion and aesthetics. It’s absolutely perfect and the right price point.
