This plant stands about as tall as the Cotton Thistle, with deeply cut leaves that have wavy margins and sharp spines. The leaves are a deep green color with white veins and can often be found in hedgerows and waste areas near buildings, leading some to question its native status. It is relatively rare in Scotland.

The heads of this thistle were once considered edible, similar to artichokes. A legend suggests that the white veins on its leaves came from a drop of the Virgin's milk, which led to it being called Our Lady's Thistle and earning its Latin name. Among thistles, Milk Thistle is particularly significant for its medicinal properties.
