Eryngium planum 'Jade Frost' PP17370
Common Name: Sea Holly
Looking for a perennial that will grow in that hot, sun-baked spot in your landscape? Sea Holly is just the plant! It thrives in that type of climate, and even grows in high-salt soils too (think seaside).
Sea Holly is adored by florists and gardeners alike for its unique and long lasting, violet blue, spiny flowers which add interesting color and texture to bouquets or the garden. They are produced on intensely silver-blue, candelabra-branched stems and stand high above the basal rosette of foliage.
'Jade Frost' PP17370 is one of the very first variegated Sea Hollies ever. Its rounded, leathery leaves are blue-green with prominent white margins. During cool night temperatures, the new leaves have pink edges (pictured here).
This species of Eryngium is one of the hardiest and it has proven to be a reliable, long-lived perennial.
