Why you need this plant:        This is the one to place in that hot, sunny spot in your landscape! Eryngium 'Blue Glitter' has distinctive blue spiny flowers that are produced on silver-blue stems that stand high above blue-green deep toothed basal leaves.

Will add unique color and texture to any garden or floral bouquet. 'Blue Glitter' adds stature to the perennial garden and longer vase life to arrangements.

 

Planting Info:       Durable, 'Blue Glitter' performs in a variety of climates, but truly thrives in hot, sunny conditions. Preferring rich fertile soils but tolerant in more demanding settings, 'Blue Glitter' adapts to almost any setting that has well drained soils.

Eryngium does not like to be overwatered. It spreads to form a small patch and tends to spread more quickly in light soil. The flower color tends to be more intense in higher temperatures.
