Milk Thistle (Silybum marianum) is a flowering herb in the aster family, native to Europe and now naturalized in North America and California. Known for its medicinal uses for over 2,000 years, this non-GMO heirloom variety produces thick leaves with a white milky sap. Rich in vitamins A and C and natural antioxidants, milk thistle is valued for its traditional use in supporting liver health. Young leaves are edible and can be used in salads, smoothies, or steamed—be sure to remove spines before consumption. Sow seeds directly outdoors in late spring in well-drained soil. Cover lightly with soil, water consistently, and expect germination in 2–3 weeks. Grows best in full sun.
