Eryngium planum

bees love these don't they :-)

Yes - and I like these...but I'm a bit annoyed, because my beautiful new E. bourgatii from last year didn't reappear this year!

I think that must be the one I have as well as planum, I also bought Jade Frost last year which has come back this year

I thought they were completely hardy?? Where's mine gone??

:-((( I don't know what could have happened, the one I have is 4yrs old. Maybe the cold was too much for a smaller plant?

Possibly. i did check in my book and also when I ordered them - from Beth Chatto. Very disappointing. :-((

must be, you never know it might pop up next year

I won't hold my breath, but that would be lovely.

:-)

Excellent colour and structure :o)

Thanks, Tt. I think you'd have liked the other ones even better!

Really structural, I have a soft spot for this plant, and I just love that ice blue colour....

I really will have to get another E. bourgatii - the colour of that was stunning! I'm sure you'd like that one, as well.

Love these :-)

Thanks. :-))
