Echinops sphaerocephalus, also known as glandular globe-thistle, great globe-thistle or pale globe-thistle, is a perennial herbaceous plant found in Eurasia. It can grow up to 200 cm tall and has gray, hairy stems with large, toothed green leaves. The plant produces spherical inflorescences with white or blue-gray flowers that bloom from June to September. These flowers are pollinated by insects and produce hairy cylindrical fruits that ripen from September to October. Echinops sphaerocephalus is widespread in Eurasia and has been introduced to other continents, including North America where it is considered a weed. It can be found in sunny, rocky areas with mineral-rich soil at altitudes up to 400 meters. There are three recognized subspecies of Echinops sphaerocephalus.
