Unusual and exciting silvery-white eryngium which adds a frosty touch to your summer garden. Eryngium planum 'Magical Silver' offers perfectly prickly flowers in July and August each year, with glaucous foliage borne from March to November. This is a lower growing, architectural beauty which is great for cutting - either fresh or dried - and immensely popular with florists for its long-lived vase life and intriguing form. Each flower is surrounded by a ruff-like layer of silvery bracts. Extra thick outer leaf layers cut down water loss, helping the plant to flower whilst others may frazzle. Known commonly as Sea Holly, because of their tolerance to drought, winds, salt spray and sandy soil. Eryngium originate from Europe and the Mediterranean. A wonderful plant to add texture to your borders and containers.Prefers well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade and drought tolerant once established. Eryngium planum 'Magical Silver' is a hardy, deciduous perennial which reaches a height of 60cm and spreads to 40cm.
