Introduce striking architectural form and unique steel-blue tones to your garden.

A hardy perennial variety, also known as 'Blue Eryngo', that provides a dramatic presence throughout the summer months. Featuring deeply textured flower heads and attractive year-round foliage, it is an excellent choice for adding structural interest and supporting local pollinators.

Details:

  • Botanical Name: Eryngium planum, widely appreciated for its distinctive form and dependable garden performance.
  • Plant Class: Hardy Perennial, delivering a reliable, long-lasting presence that returns to anchor your borders year after year.
  • Growth Habit: Reaches a tall and commanding height of 90cm (3ft), making it ideal for creating structural depth in middle-to-back border positions.
  • Colour & Texture: Produces fascinating, heavily textured heads in a unique steel-blue colour that provides excellent contrast against softer garden plants.
  • Sunlight Position: Thrives when planted in a full sun position, which helps the stems mature with strength and intensifies the metallic blue colour.
  • Wildlife Friendly: Highly attractive to bees, making it a valuable addition for anyone looking to increase insect activity in a wildlife garden.
  • Versatility: The durable, structured flower heads hold their shape exceptionally well, making them perfect for cutting and using in dried flower arrangements.

Care & Growing Instructions:

  • Sowing Position: Position in well-drained soil in an open area that receives full sun to mimic its natural, hardy growing preferences.
  • Year-Round Care: Benefit from its persistent foliage which continues to provide subtle texture and interest even outside of the main summer flowering window.
