Lovely plant, but requires some staking.

This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.

Well packaged and healthy plant, delivered in good time. Planted out as soon as it arrived and, despite recent very hot weather, plant has survived the heat well. Will be buying more of these Eryngiums for my borders.

This is difficult because I am still waiting for this plant to flower so I cannot comment at the moment.

Hello, The foliage of these plants tends to die back in autumn, so they wont be looking their best in mid-October. The flowers however tend to dry well, so they could be used in that way.

Hello, This plant will be around a year old in a 9cm pot, so provided you are planting into freely draining soil, you can pop it straight in the border. If however you have a particularly exposed garden, or are worried about it getting trampled on or damaged in some way, then you can pot it up and plant it out when it is a little older.

Hello, These plants have an eventual height of 55cm and spread of 50cm, but it prefers a freely draining poorer soil. I have however seen them growing happily on clay-based soils provided they are do not retain too much water.

I agree eryngiums need well drained soil and sun. if you want to give them another go try improving your soil with manure and then adding grit to the planting hole.

Hello Linda, Eryngiums love well drained, poor soils with lots of sun, so if it is not flourishing, it is possible that your soil is too heavy and wet for it - especially after all this rain we have had. The best thing you can do then is to move it to a soil that has better drainage (or even a pot) and it should pick up.

Hello again Edel, Do give it a feed, but I would not expect to see instant results - it may be that the plant won't flower until next year. Best regards, Helen Plant Doctor

Hi Helen That's great. Thanks a lot. I'll give it a feed and see what happens - such a brilliant plant. Thanks Edel
Edel Erickson
Hello Edel, There may not necessarily be anything wrong, but one may be putting most of its energies into producing leaves rather than flowers. Unfortunately plants do not always grow in the same way, but given the right conditions there is no reason why it won't eventually flower. All you need to do is make sure it gets well fed and watered and gets plenty of sun. If you want to give it a bit of a push you can feed it with Tomorite. I hope this helps. Helen Plant Doctor
