When searching for synonyms for this plant, one might come across names such as the Greater Cornflower, Greater Knapweed, or Pincushion Flower. The reason for these synonyms is due to the striking resemblance of the plant's floral head to a pincushion, with its purple-blue thistle-like flowers surrounded by spiny bracts.

It serves as a valuable source of nectar for pollinators, such as bees and butterflies, and also acts as a host plant for various butterfly species.
