Eryngium Bourgatti - Mediterranean Sea Holly is a very attractive plant that has deeply lobed, dark green foliage that appears before the flowers, and is marbled with veins that are a silvery white color which makes it look luminous. It’s branched stems then produce cone-like flower heads that have narrow, spiny bracts that are a silvery-blue that makes this plant look great in dried arrangements. It’s blooming season ranges from mid to late Summer, will grow between 18 – 24 inches tall, does best in full sun with well-drained soils, and is also drought tolerant. The sunnier the site, the more intense the blue color will be in the flowers! These plants will bring pollinators to your garden such as Butterflies and Bees while being resistant to Deer and Rabbits. The showy flowers make great cut flowers, are perfect for dried arrangements, and also do well in containers, and in beds and borders in the garden. Better yet, these plants are low maintenance

I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine,Florida. All seed are NOT alike! There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right!
SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!!
ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME.
DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL.
Good Luck and Happy Planting!!!!
