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).

Great Fit & Great Price
Size: 3X-Large, Color: White
The material is very nice and soft but not clingy. It’s light weight but not see through in both white and peach. This tank fits true to size and has no gaps under the arm like some other tanks I’ve tried. It’s a perfect layering piece under shirts and sweaters. Very affordable and well made. I’m a plus size lady who is happy with the fit.

arm holes too large, shirt too long, size down
Size: Small, Color: Wine
I am 110 pounds and 5’2”. I ordered a small. The fabric feels awesome. The neck area and straps are perfect. However, the arm holes are quite large. The bottom of the arm hole isn’t straight down, flush with the shirt. It angels outward. If you lift your arms up it looks odd. I should have ordered an extra small. But even if I do that, I still think the arm hole will look odd. I will likely return this or wear it at night or at the gym with yoga pants. The shirt is a tad bit long. If you wear short shorts, the shirt would cover your shorts.

WELL CONSTRUCTED. GOOD STITCHING ON NECKLINE AND SLEEVES. GOOD FOR TALL PERSON.
Size: X-Large, Color: Orange
The Automet women's loose-fit tank top is sized just right for me. I'm 5'11', 200 lbs., 57 years old. I've got some back fat that would be obvious in a tight top. This tank is loose enough to hide my back fat but not too loose. From the front, it does not appear loose at all. It's the back area that has extra room. It has a nice, scooped hem. One special feature is the double stitching on the neck and shoulders. It is well-made. It looks more expensive than it is. I bought the Automet tank top in the color orange. It is NOT see-through, nor is it thick. I live in Arizona, in the desert part, where it gets hot. This tank is thin enough to keep me comfortable from May to October when the heat hits. It's hard for me to find the "perfect" tank. I've tried so many. I feel you would be wise to give this tank a try. Worst case, you return it. I love the orange one so much, I plan to purchase all the colors for this hot summer coming up. I wish all of you the same happiness I have found with the Automet tank top.
