Echinops bannaticus 'Blue Globe'

Creating a striking architectural display, Echinops bannaticus 'Blue Globe' is a hardy perennial prized for its perfectly rounded, steel-blue flower heads throughout summer. Rising above grey-green foliage, the blooms add bold texture and long-lasting colour to borders while attracting beneficial pollinators in abundance. Excellent for fresh or dried flower arrangements, this drought-tolerant favourite brings structure and interest to both contemporary and cottage-style gardens.

Easy to grow and exceptionally low maintenance, this globe thistle thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, coping well with dry conditions once established. Ideal for mixed borders, prairie-style planting and wildlife gardens. Deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering or leave the seed heads for attractive autumn and winter interest before cutting back in late winter or early spring.

Supplied in approx. 1 litre containers.
