Narrative
Large handsome plant with shiny, spined leaves mottled with white "milk". Outstanding, solitary 2 inch purple flowers. All parts of the plant are edible. Seeds used medicinally; the active component, silymarin, is found in the seeds and is known for its liver rebuilding properties. Biennial grown as an annual. Very adaptable to growing conditions, provided the soil is well drained. Full sunlight is ideal. Height 40-54 inches.
