Sea Holly 'White Glitter'
Eryngium planum 'White Glitter'
4-inch pot
 
Often known by their common name, sea holly, Eryngiums are dazzling perennials with a “Don’t-mess-with-me” vibe. Basal rosettes of leathery, deep green leaves stretch skyward with branching stems of prickly, thistle-like foliage and blooms. As they mature, both the flowers and stems that support them turn a fantastic silvery cream color, each bloom surrounded by a decorative collar of long slender spikey sepals.
 
Beloved for its distinct form in both fresh and dried arrangements, “White Glitter” was bred for the cut flower trade. Indifferent to poor soils and infrequent watering, it only asks of you a sunny spot and well-draining ground.
