Sonchus acaulis
Sonchus acaulis

Not widely offered in nurseries Sonchus are an excellent addition to the garden. Grow then for the masses of yellow flowers, as well as for the attractive foliage. They attract bees and Butterflies to the garden and are easy care.

The beauty of these plants is that will flower well in part shade and do not require much extra water.

Sonchus acaulis and Sonchus arborous are two ornamental perennials grown for the foliage as well as the yellow flowers.

Sonchus acaulis (pictured right) is low growing with flowers that appear held well above the foliage in spring to summer.

The taller growing Sonchus arborous is also grown for its foliage, the flowers are still wonderful but are held more closely to the foliage

Growing in part shade to full sun they do require a well drained position, particularly in winter.

Other Sonchus species include :

  • So. palmensis – Tall and upright.
  • S. frutescens – Very large foliage on a spreading plant to 2m
  • S. canariensis – Taller growing to 3m.

Sonchus species are available for sale from the following nurseries
