A screaming purple flower standing above some of the most bold color and texture you can get on a garden plant. Yew Dell has had Cardoons in the kitchen garden for years and they are a visitor favorite. 2-3’ long silver leaves give way to the flowers that can stand 6 feet tall.  Here is your guarantee.  When this plant is in flower you are guaranteed to see a bumblebee on the flower anytime you take a look at it.  Promise.  Unless the bumblebee isn't there then you just need to wait a minute or two until one shows up!
