A striking perennial producing vivid metallic-blue flowers surrounded by spiky blue bracts from summer into autumn. The architectural blooms are held on sturdy stems above attractive silvery-green foliage, creating bold colour and texture in the garden. Highly attractive to bees and other pollinators, it is an excellent choice for cottage gardens, borders, gravel gardens and cut flower displays.

Thrives in full sun and well-drained soil and is tolerant of dry conditions once established. Eryngium Lapis Blue is highly frost-tolerant and thrives in the Canterbury climate. It is officially rated to handle freezing conditions down to -10° C. Because it overwinters as a low basal rosette, the crown survives winter frosts safely, sending up its striking, electric-blue blooms in the summer.
