Re: teasel cultivation problems

I would have said that I am rather baffled as to why anyone would want to grow teasels in their garden, but recently I saw some cultivated ones which were attracting as many butterflies as the buddleia.
I don't know about their cultivation, but it appears that once they succeed, they grow fast. A few days ago I passed a wide verge which had a dense patch of teasels I would guess up to 7 feet tall, and I don't think they were there last year.
