Eryngium - Planum - Silvery blue accent, drought and frost hardy - Bare root - 1 pc

Eryngium planum has a distinctive cool silvery-blue colouring. Its stiff stems are topped with rounded flower heads that stand out against the dark green leaves with a subtle metallic sheen. This species copes well with occasional drying of the soil, so it is well suited to rock gardens and sites with drier ground. The flowers are readily visited by bees and butterflies, and the plant sits well in naturalistic garden arrangements.
