A dainty delight of grey-blue pom poms A whimsical show of spherical, smoky-blue blooms ensures cottagey charm in your garden or patio container. From June to August, these fuzzy flowerheads sway on branching stems above deciduous, hairy, grey-green foliage. Your echinops tolerates dry conditions, thriving in rockeries as well as borders and containers. Deer and rabbits show no interest in this plant; however, bees and butterflies are quick to dance around the fluffy ball-like blooms. As your Globe Thistle naturalises in your garden, your vases benefit from a wealth of these delightful pom poms. A fully or partly sunny, south of west-facing location with moist, well-drained soil provides the best conditions for this fully hardy perennial. Cut back after flowering to encourage a second burst of colour. When fully grown, your Echinops bannaticus Blue Globe reaches a height and spread of 1.2m by 60cm.
