Eryngium/Sea Holly – Blue Jackpot

Description

Thistle-like electric-blue bracts shroud a cylindrical center packed with tiny blue flowers. This Sea Holly with its larger bracts is frillier than classic varieties – like an exotic feathery boa. The intense color extends down the branching, strong stems. Lovely in both fresh and dried arrangements. Drought tolerant, deer and rabbit resistant, you’ll know you’ve hit the Jackpot with this winner! Eryngium Blue Jackpot, commonly known as Sea Holly provides striking texture and form in any sunny border. Once established, it needs little ongoing care – a plus for both novice and expert gardeners.
Eryngium are thistle-like flowers that blanket spiny foliage. Flowers dry beautifully adding texture to bouquets, borders or containers. Great for cut flowers too. Blooms hold their color while lateral flowers develop, until the entire stem is covered with mature blossoms. All are hardy, long-lived, salt and drought tolerant. Great for sandy soil.
