Arctium nidulans is a wild burdock-type thistle relative from Central Asia and northwest Xinjiang, found in cold mountain and subarctic habitats. It is not a commonly grown garden plant, so care guidance is limited and mostly general.
Arctium nidulans is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae, native from Central Asia to north-west Xinjiang. It was first described by Eduard August von Regel in 1867 as Cirsium nidulans.
