Eryngium planum - Blue Glitter
Eryngium planum ‘Blue Glitter’ is a bold sea holly with intense violet-blue flower heads and silvery branching stems that look fabulous fresh or dried. Though the blooms have a thistle-like appearance, they are wonderfully ouchless, making them one of the best dried flowers for long-lasting arrangements.
This vigorous perennial matures quickly and flowers more profusely than many varieties, producing a seemingly endless parade of egg-shaped blue blooms on stiff stems up to 32" tall. A basal clump of deeply toothed leaves stays low and tidy, while the flowers add striking structure to sunny borders, dry gardens, cutting gardens, and pollinator plantings.
Plant Eryngium planum ‘Blue Glitter’ in full sun with sharply drained soil. Once established, it is tough, drought tolerant, and needs only a little summer water. Bees and butterflies love the blooms, and gardeners love the sculptural texture. Use it with grasses, salvias, yarrow, coneflowers, and silver foliage for dramatic contrast. Explore more reliable favorites in our Best Selling - Perennials & Biennials collection.
