Scientific profile
Dipsacus laciniatus is a non-woody, broad-leaved herbaceous plant reaching a height of around 0.8 m. Flowering occurs from May to August. The species is introduced and established in Great Britain; its geographical range includes Europe and temperate western Asia. It favours sunny sites with fresh, moderately moist soil and shows a strong affinity for calcareous or basic substrates, while it is not tolerant of saline conditions. Nutrient requirements are moderate, and it typically occurs in habitats with low disturbance. The temperature indicator suggests a warmth-loving character. The plant forms arbuscular mycorrhizal associations (AM type), and the average diaspore mass is about 3.5 mg.
