Teasel plants are native to Europe and Asia but have been introduced to North America. They can be found growing in disturbed areas, along roadsides, in fields, and in meadows. Teasel prefers full sun and well-drained soil.
Teasel seeds are dispersed by animals, wind, or water. Animals can carry the seeds by sticking to their fur or feathers, while wind can help spread the seeds over long distances. Water can also transport teasel seeds to new locations through rivers or streams.
The plant you're referring to is likely Eryngium, commonly known as sea holly. Eryngium plants are known for their spiky metallic blue flowers that resemble teasel. They are drought-tolerant and can make striking additions to garden landscapes.
The spiky seed will entangle itself into the fur of an animal that is passing by and then fall off some distance away.
