— About this variety

Striking metallic-blue thistle heads with dramatic spiny bracts. A bold statement flower prized by European florists for its architectural presence and exceptional vase life.

Grown in the Aberdares at 2,400 metres above sea level, our Eryngium benefits from cooler highland temperatures and intense equatorial sunlight — producing stems of exceptional strength, vibrant colour, and extended post-harvest vase life.
