Country Of Origin: Hungary Description: Blessed thistle is a distinct herb easily identifiable by its vibrant yellow or purple flowers that emerge from leaves covered in fine, spiked hairs. This herb, native to the Mediterranean and western Asia, can reach heights of up to 30 cm when cultivated in sunny, well-drained gardens. For optimal harvest, it is recommended to gather both the plant and its blossoms during the late mornings of the summer months. This timing ensures that the dew has evaporated and the sun is at its peak, enhancing the quality of the harvested plant material.
