Eryngium ×zabellii ‘Big Blue’
Bold garden accent with huge, electric-blue flowers and stems |
 |
|
You've never seen a sea
holly like ‘Big Blue’. This big, bold garden accent makes most

The stunning
electric-blue flower colour extends well down onto the stems.
Add to all that green, spiky foliage on an erect,
candelabra-shaped habit, and you have one tremendous garden
presence – impossible to overlook.
