Add Your Opinion About This Plant
It uproots itself VERY readily. When it rains, I have to bail out its pot with a measuring cup and put the plant (which is invariably floating around in its pot with the roots out of the soil and the rest of the plant completely underwater) back in the soil. Then I moved it into a raised bed, which didn't get flooded as often, and it still uprooted itself. And the prickles go right through gardening gloves. I would list this as making the top ten worst plants I have ever grown. Its one redeeming factor is that the "chicks" are kind of cute. Thankfully, I don't have it anymore.
