      (Globe thistle)
      Echinops bannaticus ‘Taplow Blue’
      CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE

      Tennis ball sized metallic blue spheres project on frosted stalks from a mound of jagged, rich green, white backed leaves. Geometrically superior to less ambitious plants and every designers dream companion for soft flowing grasses.

      A clump forming perennial from south eastern Europe easily grown in any sunny, well drained soil, preferring some dryness over summer but occasional irrigation is essential for positive growth. The only Globe Thistle that I have so far tested that performs reliably in our climate, even in clay, though light or stony soils are more to its liking.

      Typically winter dormant it will however remain in growth and flower if the opportunity presents.
