Eryngium (Sea Hollies)

Eryngium, commonly known as sea hollies, are striking perennial plants with spiky blooms and silvery-blue foliage. Their unique structure provides shelter for small insects, making them a valuable addition to wildlife-friendly gardens.

The nectar-rich flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, supporting biodiversity. Birds may also feed on the seeds in autumn. Eryngium thrives in well-drained soil and full sun, requiring minimal maintenance once established.

These drought-tolerant plants suit coastal and dry gardens. Their long-lasting flowers add texture to borders and work well in cut arrangements. By planting Eryngium, you encourage a healthier ecosystem in your outdoor space.
