Description
Texas Thistle, a prickly, tap-rooted wild annual that reaches 3 to 5 feet tall.
Each plant begins growth as a rosette, or a circular cluster of leaves, during the winter and sends up a flowering stalk in the spring. The leaves are extremely spiny and located alternately along the stems. In some species, the leaf bottom may be woolly with small hairs.
Showy purple flowers occur in late spring and summer and mature into a white plume. The seeds scatter profusely in the wind.
Many birds will feed on the seeds of the Texas Thistle.
