Tell Me More...
Eryngium agavifolium is unusual and unlike others in the family. Producing large, low growing rosettes of creamy green, spikey-edged, strap-shaped foliage it makes a truly impressive sight all year round. In summer, strong branching stems rise, each one crowned by a curious, oval, green bloom. The extra thick outer leaf layers of the evergreen, rabbit resistant foliage cuts down on water loss and helps them to flower and thrive whilst other plants frazzle. Flowering June to August, the stems make an interesting and unusual addition to your indoor floral arrangements. The Georgians are said to have collected and cooked Eryngium roots in the same way as we might asparagus, but it was their reputed aphrodisiac properties that really got our ancestors going. Drought tolerant once established, and happiest in well-drained soil in a sunny position, Eryngium agavifolium will reach a mature height of up to 1.5m, spreading to 1m. Classified as H4 by the RHS, withstanding temperatures down to around -10 C.
