This delightful sea holly has long lasting flowers that arrive in mid- to late summer, turning bright metallic-blue as they age and usually lasting well into the autumn. They have a strong architectural shape, so are best in uncrowded borders where they can really stand out on their own. Honey bees love the flowers of Eryngium × zabelii 'Jos Eijking' so they are perfect for adding to a sunny, wildlife-friendly garden.
Eryngium thrives in poor to moderately fertile, well-drained soil, ideally in full sun, while avoiding areas prone to wet winter conditions.
To enhance winter interest in your garden, resist cutting back the striking flower heads in autumn; instead, leave them to add structure through the colder months.
In spring, trim back the old stems to make way for fresh growth from the emerging foliage, ensuring the plant remains healthy and vigorous for the new season.
