Eryngium: A Striking Beauty with Architectural Appeal.
Eryngium, commonly known as sea holly, is a truly unique perennial that brings drama and structure to the garden. Its spiky, thistle-like flower heads in shades of steely blue, silver, and even violet-blue create a bold, sculptural display that stands out beautifully against softer plants. The intricate, cone-shaped centres and spiny bracts give Eryngium an architectural quality that draws the eye, adding interest and texture to borders, prairie-style plantings, or gravel gardens. For those looking to introduce a plant that’s both unusual and captivating, Eryngium is an exceptional choice that adds flair to any garden.
