Description: Sea Holly is renowned for its striking appearance, featuring steel-blue stems and spiky, cone-shaped flowers surrounded by a ruff of spiny bracts. This hardy perennial adds a unique architectural element to gardens and is highly valued for its drought tolerance and ability to thrive in poor soils. The vibrant blue coloration of its blooms makes it a favorite in both fresh and dried floral arrangements. It’s also a magnet for pollinators like bees and butterflies, providing abundant nectar.
Planting Tips:
- Plant in well-drained, even sandy or rocky soil.
- Space plants about 12-18 inches apart.
- Water regularly until established, then reduce frequency as Sea Holly is drought-resistant.
- Deadhead to encourage more blooms and prevent self-seeding if not desired.
Ideal Season for Planting in Texas: Early Spring or Fall
