Plant Profile: Eryngium planum

This hardy perennial thrives in salty coastal winds and arid, sandy soils, making it suitable for both coastal and inland gardens. Notably, certain species of sea holly, including this one, feature striking, spiny leaves that are thick and adorned with white veins, adding ornamental value. The plant produces vibrant blooms from June to September, often flowering abundantly throughout the summer. These flowers are excellent for cutting or drying.

To propagate, simply detach the plantlets from the base of the parent plant.
