Size:15×4 Ounce Teasel (Dipsacus fullonum) is readily recognized by its
prickly leaves and stem, along with its pinkish or purplish flowers that form
on a large head. In centuries past, dried teasel heads were used in the
process of fulling cloth, to raise the nap on fabrics. In fact, according to
Brigitte Mars, “the common name teasel derives from the Old English tcesan,
“to tease” in reference to the use of the tops in carding wool.” In natural
medicine, the dried roots are used for a variety of purposes. Native to
Europe, teasel was introduced to the United States possibly as early as the
1700s. Some bird species, including the European Goldfinch, use teasel as a
winter food source; hence teasel is grown in some gardens and nature preserves
to attract them. However, in much of the Unites States, teasel is regarded as
an invasive species. A biennial plant, teasel is fairly low to the ground in
its first year, but sends up tall flower spikes in its second year, along with
pairs of leaves positioned along the stem which collect water and prevent
insects from climbing the stalks.
