Re: Teasal for finches

Teasel is a biennial (starts in first year with a rosette of leaves, produces flowers in second year) and it self seeds pretty well. I have it in my garden and never have to worry about it - it always turns up. I've never deliberately grown it from seed, though it must be pretty simple. But sow it two years in succession, or you might only get flowers every other year.
