The Eryngium genus, commonly known as Sea Holly, is a striking member of the Apiaceae family. These herbaceous perennials are celebrated for their spiky, architectural flowers and steely blue, silver, or green hues. Eryngium adds bold texture and structure to borders, coastal gardens, and wildflower meadows, making it a favourite for creating dramatic, low-maintenance displays.
Native to temperate and tropical regions worldwide, Eryngium thrives in well-drained soils and sunny locations. These drought-tolerant plants are ideal for dry or Mediterranean-style gardens. Popular species such as Eryngium planum, or Flat Sea Holly, and Eryngium giganteum, known as Miss Willmott’s Ghost, are particularly admired for their unique, long-lasting flowers and suitability for cut and dried arrangements.
The Eryngium genus combines resilience, ornamental appeal, and pollinator-friendly attributes, making it an excellent choice for gardeners seeking distinctive, hardy plants that provide year-round interest.
