Echinops ritro ‘Veitchs Blue’

Veitch’s Globe Flower is one of the stars of our dry garden. Its bold, dark green divided foliage and stiff stems topped by dark blue drumstick flowers cause quite a stir when in full glory. We rarely list this in the catalogue because almost as soon as plants are potted visitors snap them up. It prefers a sunny spot and is drought tolerant, though is happy enough in any well-prepared spot in the garden. This is the plant that features as the background on our homepage. 90cm x 60cm.
