Dried flower rock star!As you can see by the image the bees adore this plant. Vibrant silver-blue foliage with metallic blue seedpods that sport radiant spiny bracts. Excellent in cut flowers & dried arrangements. Cut before they are fully open as these will continue to open in the drying process. Hanging them upside down to dry ensures weaker stems do not flop over. A great conversation piece for a dinner bouquet or garden focal point. Long grown in seaside gardens for its salt tolerance. Deer resistant.

Sow 2 mm deep in a prepared bed in late Spring or in a germination mix if sown indoors. Late fall sowings are also favoured in regions with a more temperate climate. Germination is 15 to 25 days. Keep moist while germinating but not wet.
