#Seaholly #pollinatorplants #gardening
Sea Holly is a low maintenance pollinator plant that will make a beautiful addition to your pollinator garden.
In addition to winter and indoor sowing, Sea Holly can be seeded directly into your garden in late summer or fall. If sowing indoors, place the seeds in the refrigerator for 4 weeks before sowing. Sea Holly requires cold stratification to germinate.
Following are other varieties of Eryngium:
• Alpine Sea Holly (E. alpinum) - Native to alpine pastures of Switzerland, both the flowers and stems of this species are considered the bluest of the genus. Growing about 2 feet (60 cm.) high, you'll find this one at its peak during July and August.
• Amethyst Sea Holly (E. amethystinum) - Growing 1-1½ feet (45 cm.) tall, this European native is one of the most cold hardy of the genus. It has beautiful amethyst blue flowers and a somewhat straggling nature.
Zones 2-8
• Mediterranean Sea Holly (E. bourgatii) - Native to Pyrenees, this variety reaches 1-2 feet (30-60 cm.) and consists of lively blue-green flowers with silver bracts and white veins within its coarse, spiny leaves. Zones 5-9
• Giant Sea Holly (E. giganteum) - Also known as Miss Wilmot's Ghost (named for English gardener Ellen Wilmot), this Caucasus native makes an excellent plant for grouping in a background, growing from 3 to 4 feet (90-120 cm.) or higher. While it may require staking, its heart-shaped leaves and large flowers are worth the extra effort. Zones 4-7
• Moroccan (E. variifolium) - grows in stiffly erect branched stems 12-18 inches tall and produces numerous silver-blue flower heads. Zones 5-9
• Rattlesnake Master (E. yuccifolium) - A native to the eastern United States with creamy chartreuse, button-like flowers and strap-like leaves, this species reaches 2 to 4 feet (60-120 cm.) tall. Its name is said to derive from the myth that these plants could cure rattlesnake bites or drive them away. Zones 3-8
• Common Sea Holly (E. maritimum) - This plant is one of the smallest, growing from 6 inches to 1 1/2 feet (15-45 cm.) high. Zones 4-9
