Description

Very close to the creeping thistle (Cirsium arvense): not all sources separate the plants, many treat them as one species. In this catalogue they are kept as two cards.

A perennial herbaceous plant. It grows on rich, neutral and slightly saline soils and is widespread in the forest and steppe zones, especially in the southern taiga and forest-steppe. It is one of the worst weeds, infesting all crops, and prefers damp meadows.
