Purple Salsify, or Tragopogon porrifolius, is considered a common weed around the globe. This has not always been the case as every part of the plant is edible.

The purple flowers can be spotted growing by the side of the road. Their fluffy seed heads resemble those of dandelions, to which they are related. Unlike dandelions their seed heads are quite large, around 10cm in diameter, and they are a majestic gold colour.

Preserved in a glass dome with a gold base, these beauties are both eye catching and elegant.

Salsify symbolises vitality and nourishment. It was used historically to support personal growth and the realisation of one’s true potential.

No maintenance is required; your salsify doesn’t need to be watered.
If possible place it out of direct sunlight.

Note that nature rarely creates perfect forms. Every salsify head is different, but be assured that only the best specimens are gathered for preservation.

This golden dome is a perfect gift for nature enthusiasts, dreamers, or anyone who appreciates the magic of a wish.
