5. Thistle. In season from summer through fall, these spiky blue or purple blooms have an untamed, wild look. There are many varieties, from small globe-shaped blue thistles to artichokes left to bloom (yes, they’re a kind of thistle), as well as other plants that aren’t true thistles but are known as them (like Eryngium, or sea holly).
Style: Rustic, natural, elegant.
How to use: These striking blooms work well on their own, tucked into a small square vase. Or mix thistles in a cool-color bouquet with white anemones, silvery dusty miller and blue viburnum berries.
