Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Eryngium planum 'Jade Frost' has green leaves with white to creamy white variegation that is pink in cool temperatures. Bees adore them. Sea Holly are intriguing members of the carrot family and garden favourites for their true blue thimble like inflorescences held above equally blue thistly bracts. The dried seed heads provide winter interest. A must have for those who love blue flowers and variegation.
A 7" mound of leathery blue-green foliage edged in cream (pinkish when cool) along with shining silver-violet-blue pincushion flowers on 30" stalks make this spectacular drought-tolerant plant glow. S/M-D/GDr PP17370
