Eryngium (Sea Holly)

Eryngium (ear-IN-gee-um), commonly known as Sea Holly, is a quite distinctive perennial plant admired for its fascinating, spiky, thistle-like, truly blue blossoms and striking, steel-blue or silvery-gray foliage. With its unique, definitely out-of-the-ordinary appearance and long-lasting blooms, Eryngium ensures this superbly eye-catching element will draw attention to your gardens, borders, and coastal landscapes. Its unusual flowers, resembling small, armored cones surrounded by a collar of spiny-looking bracts, attracts bees and other pollinators, making it a valuable addition to wildlife-friendly gardens. Eryngium thrives in full sun and well-drained, sandy or rocky soil, and its exceptional drought tolerance makes it an ideal choice for xeriscaping and low-maintenance gardens. These hardy plants are also deer-resistant and can withstand challenging conditions, including salt spray, making them an exceptional choice for coastal gardens.
