PR12095 LEAVENWORTH ERYNGO
Eryngium Seeds

Eryngium leavenworthii

This little known annual Eryngium produces showy 'mini-pineapples' from midsummer to early fall. They turn from green, to lavender, to vivid purple as they mature and make long lasting cut flowers- fresh or dried. The intense purple color will hold for months when stems are cut and dried upside down, just after the flowers open. Easy to grow; the 2-3 foot tall plants are heat, pest, and disease resistant. Gorgeous when massed. Self sows.

Prefers deep sandy soils, and weekly water during hottest weather, will tolerate drought and any soil as long as it drains well. Cut flowers are long lasting, fresh or dried. The intense blue color of the blooms are intensified by warm days followed by cool nights. Looks great planted with Shasta Daisies, Hollyhocks, Perovskia and Coreopsis. Attracts bees, hummingbirds and butterflies.
