Echinops ‘Veitch’s Blue’ (globe thistle) carries perfectly spherical, steel-blue flower heads on tall stems above jagged grey-green foliage.
Free click & collect from the nursery, or delivery on larger orders.
An architectural, upright perennial grown for its striking round flower heads, which open metallic blue from midsummer over deeply cut, thistle-like foliage.
It is a magnet for bees and butterflies, flowering in July and August, and the heads dry well for indoor arrangements. Ideal for borders, gravel and wildlife gardens.
Grow in full sun in free-draining, even poor, soil — it thrives where richer plants would flop.
Every plant we sell is backed by four decades of growing. Tell us about your garden and we’ll tell you honestly whether this is the right plant for it.
