The Ehinops Heldreichii is a scarce, tall plant and can be found only in some subarctic regions. It blooms once a year, for 6 months. It has wide, spear shaped leaves, which are usually dark yellow. It also grows huge flowers, which can be bronze, brown and dark purple. These plants grow alone, but within a decent distance from each other, but it's extremely difficult to control and maintain their growth. They can be dried and used in cooking. As a defense mechanism the Ehinops Heldreichii taste extremely sour. They rely on self pollination to reproduce. Once pollinated, they grow small, inedible fruits.
