Description

Echinops is best when grown in poor, well-drained soil and full sun. However, it will tolerate almost any soil and part shade. To encourage rebloom in the fall and to prevent self-seeding, spent flowers should be removed. Mature plants 3 or more years old may be propagated by removing the small plantlets surrounding the main clump of foliage and replanting them. This may be done in either spring or fall.

ECHINOPS r. 'Blue Glow'. 3-4' tall, 2' spread, full sun-part shade, early-late summer bloom. Intense blue spheres measuring 1.5" across appear on tall, unbranched stems above silvery green foliage. Though they look prickly, they are not as rough to the touch as you might expect. Echinops makes a great cut flower or dried everlasting. They add a unique element to any arrangement and are becoming more popular with florists every year. Attracts butterflies & is bee friendly. Deer & rabbit resistant. Zones 3-8. Potted in 3" pot.
