Echinops
Charming, reliable perennial plants with striking spherical, steely blue flowers. A very efficient attractor of beneficial pollinating insects.
Platinum Blue
Perennial (P)
From July to September, spherical, spiky, silvery-blue flowers appear at the top of these erect-growing 1m (3’) tall plants. The foliage is also silver, and in full sun the plant will develop into clumps with many stems. The flowers are excellent candidates for cut or dried purposes, and attract a wide variety of beneficial insects, from wild bees to butterflies. An easy to grow perennial for the corner of the vegetable garden or the middle of the border.
