Eryngium planum 'Blue Hobbit'

A very compact, dwarf form of Sea Holly that still produces an abundance of thistle-like flowers. 

- From late June right throughout the autumn, small, tightly packed steely blue flowers are produced on upright stems. Regular deadheading will prolong flowering time. 

- A clump of rounded blue-green basal leaves forms a compact base to the plant. Along the upright stems, spiky blue-green leaves are also produced, giving the overall plant an attractive silvery tone.

- Requires a dry, full sun area with very well-draining soil. Its long flowering time and compact form makes it a fantastic choice for pots and rockeries, or for adding to the front of existing borders and raised beds, and filling in gaps where needed. Flower heads work great in both freshly cut and dried flower arrangements. Also a fantastic plant for coastal gardens. 

- Flowers are very attractive to bees, butterflies and other beneficial pollinators.

- Height and Spread approx. 30-45cm x 30-45cm. 

- Supplied in a 9cm pot
