The stem is erect and grooved, but usually not as thick as the Bull Thistle. (friendsofsleepingbear.org)
Creeping Thistle6
The common name Creeping thistle comes from its tendency to spread by lateral root growth, or its seeds are wind dispersed allowing it to rapidly form dense stands that can shade out native plants. (ncsu.edu)
Creeping thistle is native to Europe and Asia and was introduced to North America in the 1600s. (herokuapp.com)
Other names include: Creeping thistle, Field thistle (Not to be confused with Field Thistle (Cirsium discolor) . (authenticwisconsin.com)
In western Europe U. cardui attacks the creeping thistle Cirsium arvense , whereas in eastern Europe, in the Ural mountains, it attacks Cirsium setosum , a taxon closely related to C. arvense . (ufz.de)

Invasive plants can displace rare plants in most any ecosystem, totally transform natural ecosystems (e.g., yellow star thistle in California grasslands), dramatically increase fire frequency, thereby threatening personal property and livestock (e.g. (omegafields.com)
Suspected thifensulfuron resistant spiny annual sow-thistle was identified near Colfax, Washington, in two fields with a winter wheat and lentil rotation. (weedscience.org)
Therefore, studies were conducted to examine resistance of spiny annual sow-thistle to thifensulfuron and cross-resistance to other acetolactate synthase inhibitors and to determine the physiological and molecular basis for herbicide resistance. (weedscience.org)
arvense has merely toothed or shallowly lobed, weakly spiny lvs. (asu.edu)
Plants1
Also, even though flower head production was reduced by as much as 87% in research trials, the thistle is such a prolific seed producer researchers concluded that PST would not be able to overcome re-seeding by surviving plants. (osu.edu)
Weeds1
Cirsium arvense is one of the most economically important agricultural weeds in the world. (asu.edu)
Flowers1
The leaves are poky like other thistles and it has purple pink flowers that appear in the summer. (ncsu.edu)
Garden1
Thistles are a great option in your meadow garden or naturalized area when looking for a plant to attract pollinators and seed-eating birds. (ncsu.edu)
Scop5
We investigated the potential to suppress an important invasive plant, Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense [L.] Scop. (psu.edu)

Vulgare1
A number of thistle species are on the Kansas noxious weed list, including bull thistle ( Cirsium vulgare ), Canada thistle ( Cirsium arvense ), and musk thistle ( Carduus nutans ). (dyckarboretum.org)
A modest sized annual thistle that is very similar to the more well known Italian thistle ( Carduus pycnocephalus ) and may be a subspecies or variety. (cnps.org)
Bull thistle2
I know it's not Bull thistle because the leaves of Canada thistle are lighter green in colour and relatively hairless in comparison to the dark green and very wooly leaves of bull thistle. (ontario.ca)
The flower head of bull thistle is three times as large as that of Canada thistle. (ontario.ca)
Species2
The native species, undulating thistle ( Cirsium undulatum ) and tall thistle ( Cirsium altissimum ) are the only thistles I have found on most South Central Kansas prairies I visit. (dyckarboretum.org)
This species generally contains flowerheads of 5-20 flowers each, while Italian thistle generally has heads of 5 or less flowers. (cnps.org)
There are, however, two native thistles found on our South Central Kansas prairies that often get a bad rap because they are confused with their noxious and more invasive relatives. (dyckarboretum.org)
Californian3
NEW ZEALAND - For years farmers have had anecdotal evidence that mowing pasture in the rain helps to reduce the abundance of Californian thistle (Cirsium arvense), which is the most destructive pastoral weed in New Zealand. (thedairysite.com)
Project leader Dr Graeme Bourdôt, Senior Scientist at AgResearch Lincoln, says the finding emerged from a national survey of diseases found on Californian thistle, funded by Meat and Wool NZ (now Beef + Lamb NZ). (thedairysite.com)
However, the research does show conclusively that mowing in the rain works to reduce Californian thistle abundance. (thedairysite.com)
Plant4
We talked about what they eat at each phase-like how important certain trees are in the dietary equation, why we should stop weeding out or even plant important native thistles, and how showy tropical milkweed and "butterfly bush" aren't helping-and are actually hurting. (awaytogarden.com)
With the abundance of precipitation we've received this year, it has been a great year for plant growth and flowering, and thistles have certainly been among the benefactors. (dyckarboretum.org)
The thistle is a high-value nectar plant for bees and butterflies and the songbirds eat the seeds and use the tufts of the seeds for their nests. (ncsu.edu)
If you want to plant a thistle in your gardens, this is the one to plant because they are easier to control than other thistles. (ncsu.edu)
Prickly1
Thistles are an often prickly topic and one to make many prairie landowners bristle. (dyckarboretum.org)
Crops1
One of these, the vascular wilt fungus Verticillium dahliae, a pathogen that causes diseases in many crops, was common on the thistle in this survey. (thedairysite.com)
20011
In 2001, weevils in Oregon were discovered reproducing on three native thistles: Tracy's thistle (same as in Colorado), Indian thistle (Cirsium brevistylum) and fewleaf thistle (Cirsium remotifolium). (colorado.edu)
Native2
Swamp thistle is a great option in the wetlands of your meadow garden or naturalized area when looking for native host plants for the Swamp Metalmark butterfly or the Painted Lady butterfly. (ncsu.edu)
Be cautious not to confuse this with our native California thistle ( Cirsium occidentale ). (cnps.org)
Weevil1
Competition from H. comata did not reduce biomass of thistles, but combinations of the weevil and H. comata greatly reduced thistle root biomass. (psu.edu)
Noxious1
Thistle is a noxious weed and can spread rapidly. (fortsask.ca)
Plants1
The fungus produces spores inside the thistle that are released by mowing, dispersed by splashing rain and then gain entry into other thistle plants through wounds. (thedairysite.com)
Spines2
I know it's not Nodding thistle because the leaves of nodding thistle are more deeply lobed and have more spines. (ontario.ca)
This thistle has fewer spines than some and is much easier to control than other thistles. (ncsu.edu)
Seeds5
Did you know, the primary method of thistles spreading is not from the seeds but rather their extensive root system! (fortsask.ca)
While the seeds are the method of thistles spreading to new areas, the roots can spread laterally and horizontally, allowing the weed to cover a large area of grass if it is not maintained properly. (fortsask.ca)
A crew will remove the weed by mowing the thistles regularly before the flowers turn to seeds. (fortsask.ca)
Mow your lawn regularly to keep thistle under control in your yard before it flowers and seeds. (fortsask.ca)
When in the peak of their respective bloom times, undulating and tall thistle flowers are hot spots for a host of insect pollinators, the predators that eat these insects, and birds (especially finches), who will later eat the seeds. (dyckarboretum.org)
Grass1
Weevils had a positive indirect effect on the cool-season grass H. comata, presumably by reducing the competitive ability of thistles, but had no effect on biomass of the warm-season grass, S. airoides. (psu.edu)
Control1
The City aims to monitor and control thistles through mechanical approaches in City parks and open spaces. (fortsask.ca)
Found1
This thistle is found only on sand dunes on the shores of Lake Superior, Lake Michigan and Lake Huron and is formally listed as endangered. (colorado.edu)
Purple1
An annual that grows 1-4 feet and closely resembles purple star thistle (above). (cnps.org)
Soil1
Swamp thistle prefers full sun, wet to moist conditions and grows best in sandy soil although partial sun and other soil types are tolerated. (ncsu.edu)
Reduce1
By reducing seed output, the weevils reduce thistle population growth rates by 10 percent to 12 percent. (colorado.edu)
