White Glitter Eryngium Seed

Item #HSC-ERY-002-PKT

A long-lasting white sea holly.

White Glitter has silvery white flowers with a metallic sheen and lasts a long time cut.

Tough, long-lived plants send up long, sturdy stems and take heat and full sun in stride. Expect flowers from the second season onward, busy with bees and other helpful insects. Also known as flat sea holly or plains eryngo; hardy from Zone 3 to Zone 8.

Flowers from the second year, on plants 40–46" tall. Open-pollinated.

18–24". Clumps spread slowly and can be left in place for years.

Soil

Dry, sandy soil; tolerates salty ground. Easily harmed by overwatering.

Light

Full sun.

Harvest
