Description

Eryngium variifolium is an evergreen, clump-forming perennial with dark green, scalloped foliage marked by contrasting white veins. Also called Moroccan Sea Holly, Eryngium variifolium has erect, silver blue, branched stems that carry thistle-like umbels of steel blue flowers set above spiny, silvery bracts. This uncommon plant deserves more use in containers, rock gardens and cutting gardens.

Eryngium variifolium prefers full sun to very light shade and medium to dry, well-drained soil. Sea Holly is drought tolerant and survives in coastal conditions.

Our boxes come in four sizes: 1-count, 3-count, 6-count, and 12-count.

To get the best shipping rates per plant, try to fill a box of 3, 6, or 12. Shipping rates are calculated at checkout by weight, package size, and distance.

Our nursery is located in Virginia, and it can sometimes be costly to ship to the western US. Ground shipping is too slow cross-country for the plants to arrive safely, so our options are limited to faster shipping methods. We appreciate your understanding!

We ship via UPS or USPS (the Post Office), and their ship rates are automatically generated through our site. We do not profit on shipping costs. We are working with these providers to get our customers the best rates possible.

All ship times are subject to change if extreme weather conditions are present here at the nursery or at the shipping destination.

Please note: Depending on the time of year, the foliage of the plants may be trimmed to fit into our shipping boxes. This could delay the flowering of the plant, but many perennials actually benefit from being cut back.

We are currently not able to ship to Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and outside of the US.
