It has been found in Arizona, southeastern California, New Mexico, Nevada, Colorado, Utah, Sonora, and northwestern Chihuahua.〔Flora of North America: (''Cirsium arizonicum'' )〕〔Jepson Flora: (''Cirsium arizonicum'' )〕〔USDA Plants Profile: (''Cirsium arizonicum'' )〕〔(Biota of North America Program 2014 county distribution map )〕〔(Calflora taxon report, University of Arizona, ''Cirsium arizonicum'' (A.

The spiny leaves are oblong-obovate with pinate lobes; the basal leaves are larger, 10–40 cm long, while leaves on the upper stem can be only 3 cm long. The inflorescence is 3–4 cm in length and 1.5–2 cm diameter, red to pink or purple, with all the florets of similar form (no division into disc and ray florets); individual plants are very variable in the number of heads produced, from one to 100. Flowering is from mid spring to mid fall. The species occurs in mountains, at elevations of 900–3,600 m.〔〔〔(SEINet Southwestern Biodiversity, Arizona Chapter, Cirsium arizonicum ) includes photos, description, distribution map〕 Five varieties have been identified:〔 * ''Cirsium arizonicum'' var.
