Echinops, Globe Thistle - Taplow Blue - Vivid blue, butterfly magnet - Bare root - 1 pc

Echinops 'Taplow Blue' produces distinctive, spherical flowerheads in an intense blue. Its stiff stems carry the flowers above a clump of green, slightly spiny leaves, so the plant stands out clearly in the border. The rounded flowerheads give it an ornamental, slightly naturalistic character and combine well with other perennials. The flowers are eagerly visited by bees and butterflies, which is why globe thistle is often planted in pollinator-friendly gardens.
