Dipsacus japonicus
- Product number: 585786
- Origin: Asia, Japan
- Latin: Dipsacus japonicus
This Asian version of the Teasel grows, among other places, in the Japanese Alps and is valued for the medicinal applications of its roots and the edibility of its young leaves in early spring. They thrive in moist, sunny spots and bloom at a height of approximately 1 meter with the characteristic spiny flower heads. These are somewhat more modest in size than most European species, about 2 cm, and have a rather round shape. The plants branch diligently, and dozens of lilac-pink, tubular flowers emerge from the flower heads. The roots are dried and ground and offered as a natural medicine.
