Globe Thistle (echinops blue glow) $5.00 per clump (more than one plant) shines an opalescent blueish purple when it comes to full bloom. Attracts butterflies. Deer Resistant. Drought Tolerant. Beneficial to pollinators. Full Sun. Zone 3-8.
may or may not come potted, depending on the length of the tap root~but will be in dirt.
DROUGHT RESISTANT
Globe thistles require full sun for strong growth but are not fussy about soil. Once established, they are very drought-resistant.
Plants well with ROSE CAMPION. for SUMMER BLOOM. and I have the BLUEBELLS in the SAME BED along with the INDIAN HYACINTH for the SPRING BLOOM.
