Eryngium planum | Blue Hobbit
This fabulous compact perennial boasts a profusion of egg shaped purplish-blue spiny flower heads over the summer months. The interesting flowers stand high above the deeply toothed leaves. This stunning little plant adds beautiful texture as well as adding a unique colour to the garden. These plants flower in summer and are so easy to care for.
A favourite of florists for cutting and drying as well as bees and butterflies this little plant flowers throughout the summer months and is the perfect choice for a sun-baked garden. Blue Hobbit thrives in full sun in dry well drained soils - the more sun it receives the blue the flower heads. A great choice not only for the garden but also fine in a pot.
Avoid planting it in moist and very fertile soils as the plants tend to sprawl. If you have an area with poor soil, then this is a good choice. Deadhead to keep the plant neat and tidy and cut it back in late summer after flowering has finished. Drought tolerant once established
May self-sow if conditions are ideal but rarely becomes a nuisance. Plants once in the garden are best left undisturbed as they resent being moved once established.
