Eryngium x zabelii ‘Big Blue’ (Sea Holly)

Eryngium x zabelii ‘Big Blue’ is a striking perennial renowned for its architectural grey-green spiky foliage and unique thimble-shaped blue flowers. Its bold, sculptural form makes it a standout in borders, containers, or mixed perennial beds, adding structure and interest throughout the growing season. The nectar-rich flowers attract bees, supporting pollinators while enhancing your garden’s ecological value.

‘Big Blue’ is hardy in most conditions but benefits from protection during severe winters. Established plants can be lifted and divided in spring to maintain vigour and encourage new growth. In addition to its ornamental value, the spiky blue blooms make excellent cut flowers, bringing a modern, dramatic touch to floral arrangements. Versatile, low-maintenance, and visually striking, Eryngium x zabelii ‘Big Blue’ is perfect for gardeners seeking long-lasting colour, texture, and pollinator-friendly beauty.
