The most exquisitely gorgeous globe thistle there ever was. Despite its prickly appearance and silvery blue colour, it attracts a large number of bees and butterflies.
It is enchanting whether it is growing in the garden or being shown in a vase, and it also makes a magnificent dried flower.
Because Echinops is a perennial plant, you might receive a few blossoms during the first year, but you might have to wait until the next year before they really get going and also start to self-seed like crazy.
