Comments: This sea holly is thistle-like in appearance and will grow up to 30" tall on stiff, blue stems. Egg-shaped, metallic blue flower heads (2" long) are surrounded by a collar of 12-18 inches attractive, somewhat soft-to-the-touch, finely-divided, blue-gray bracts which extend outward from the base of each flower head. All foliage has a bluish tinge with lower leaves being heart-shaped and spiny-toothed and upper leaves being palmately-divided. A long-lasting cut flower that also dries well.

Never Appeared
Reviewed By: Salena  (Princeton, TX)
I planted these in the bed I have planted most everything else I have ordered...and nothing. Pretty disappointed in this as I love the look of these funky flowers. I hold out a small hope that they are resting underground and will pop up next spring. But I think I am kidding myself, LOL. I should have at least seen some foliage by now. I will most likely try again, as they are too cool looking not to!

large plant

This is a fast growing plant, but the flowers are small, however they look great in vases with other flowers. these plants will produce young ones every year, so now my neighbors have them and everyone is happy
