DESCRIPTION
Eryngium planum, commonly known as flat sea holly, is a perennial native to regions including the Alps, Jura, and the Balkan mountains. In summer, it produces steel-blue, thistle-like flower heads atop branched stems, rising from a rosette of dark green, deeply toothed basal leaves.
This plant thrives in full sun and is drought-tolerant once established, making it suitable for dry, sandy, well-drained soils. Its unique texture and color provide lasting interest in the landscape, and it serves as a valuable addition to gardens, attracting bees and butterflies.
