Globe thistle
Echinops ritro
Drumstick thistle in a perfect blue
One of the first flowers I ever grew from seed, because it’s fantastic and unusual and completely different. The bees, butterflies and other pollinators love it as much as I do. I find it to be incredibly resilient and it thrives even in drought conditions.
Great for drying, Piet Oudolf style perennial planting schemes, and for making Christmas baubles.
Perennial.
