Description

A very good choice to add colour to the front of a border or container. Plant is a silvery blue all over and the flowerhead is made up of 100s of small flowers.

Eryngium planum ‘Blue Hobbit’ is a perennial plant recognized for its striking blue, thistle-like flowers and textured, spiny foliage.

This cultivar typically grows 30cm tall and spreads about 25cm wide, blooming in late summer to early autumn. It prefers full sun, well-drained sandy or rocky soil, and is drought-tolerant once established.

Commonly used in borders, rock gardens, and pollinator-friendly spaces, ‘Blue Hobbit’ attracts bees and butterflies while also serving as a cut flower.

It requires initial watering but is low maintenance once established, with deadheading recommended to promote further blooms and manage self-seeding.

Overall, it is a resilient and attractive addition to gardens, offering both aesthetic value and ecological benefits.
