What's that? It's a question we often get when Echinops ritro ruthenicus, our purple "golf ball" plant comes into bloom in our dry garden bed. So cool looking and the pollinators love it. Undemanding, unfazed by heat and happy as a clam in ordinary soil with some drainage, “Globe Thistle” is a simple to grow, magnetic choice for the dry garden. Impressive, 3” across, richly colored blue “golf balls” stand out on strong multi-branching ghostly white stems above finely cut, shimmery silver foliage
