Eryngiums make a striking addition to dry, sunny borders and gravel gardens. They have thistle-like flowers, made up of tiny flowers packed together in a tight cluster, surrounded by a ruff of spiny bracts. The flowerheads last well when cut and can also be dried.
Eryngium 'Neptune's Gold' is a colourful plant. The spiky bracts are silvery blue at the base, turning gold at the tips. The stems of 'Neptune's Gold' are blue, and the foliage yellow.
For best results grow eryngiums in free-draining soil, in a sunny position. Find out more on our grow guide for Eryngiums.
