What you need to know as a florist about the Dipsacus
- Colourful splendour
During flowering, Dipsacus is purple-lilac, then fades to a warm shade of brown. This makes Dipsacus versatile: fresh in summer, earthy in autumn and perfect as a dried flower.
- Stylish applications
The oval, spiny flower heads are full of detail. The small flowers bloom in a ring shape and attract many bees and butterflies.
- Symbolic meaning
In the Middle Ages, the Kaardenbol was used for carding wool, hence its name. It symbolises refinement through simplicity, as well as natural resilience.
