Eryngium × zabelii 'Big Blue'
Eryngos 'Big Blue'
Eryngos 'Big Blue' is a perennial plant known for its vibrant, metallic blue, thistle-like heads. Each head is fringed with spiny bracts and stands on rigid stems, giving the plant a unique, architectural silhouette. Its distinctive visual appeal is enhanced by its longevity, blooming from summer to autumn. Eryngos 'Big Blue' prefers full sunlight and well-drained soils to thrive, making it a popular addition to coastal and rock gardens.
Eryngium alpinum 'Blue Star'
Alpine sea holly 'Blue Star'
Alpine sea holly 'Blue Star' is a colorful herbaceous perennial characterized by silver-blue, cone-shaped flowers above spiny, purplish basal bracts, all born by a grey-blue stem. The cultivar reaches around 70 cm in height and makes an interesting cut flower, both in the fresh and the dry form. The flower is attractive to butterflies.
Eryngium giganteum 'Silver Ghost'
Tall eryngo 'Silver Ghost'
Tall eryngo 'Silver Ghost' is a Tall eryngo cultivar, bred to be more compact than its parent plant. The cultivar's foliage and flowers also reveal a more intense silvery color compared to the original species. This characteristic gives the cultivar its name and makes it a particularly desirable cultivar for gardeners.
Eryngium agavifolium
Sea holly
Sea holly features rosettes of long, spiky green leaves resembling those of agave plants, which is a survival adaptation for arid conditions. This perennial's striking silhouette is further accented by tall, branching stems bearing metallic-blue flower heads, particularly sought after by gardeners for their decorative and drought-resistant qualities.
Eryngium maritimum
Sea holly
Sea holly is found along most European coastlines. Its thistle-like flowers are a metallic blue and this perennial flowers from mid-summer through fall. It is considered endangered in many areas. These plants are easy to grow and require very little care, but will bloom longer if dead-headed.
Eryngium amethystinum
Amethyst eryngo
Amethyst eryngo is appreciated widely for its striking, spiky appearance. Its blue flowerheads atop blue stems give this plant a highly distinctive appearance. What's more, butterflies love it. Amethyst eryngo often features in coastal, cottage, and gravel gardens, as well as in cut and dried flower displays.
Eryngium bourgatii
Mediterranean sea holly
Mediterranean sea holly is a showy and low-maintenance perennial flower. Its dark silvery-green foliage has deep veins and the plant produces a cone-like flower in a silvery blue hue. These plants grow best in direct sun and drier soil. It is very attractive to bees and butterflies.
Eryngium yuccifolium
Rattlesnake master
Rattlesnake master (Eryngium yuccifolium) is a herbaceous perennial plant species that grows best in full sunlight and dry soil. Rattlesnake master is drought tolerant and erosion resistant. The leaves of this coarse plant have been used by Native Americans to create both baskets and sandals. Monarch butterflies love the nectar from this flower, giving them nutrients to complete their yearly migration south.
