Product Details

Quite the most spectacular and vigorous plant. Fantastic fresh arching silvery leaves virtually year round, as perfect a companion for Tulips in Spring and wonderful for larger installations later in the year. The spectacular flower heads soar to 2 metres before flowering. The purple thistle flowers are adored by bees. The flowers when cut tight below the flower sit happily on a table out of water for days, making a striking sculptural presence. Cut the stems hard back after flowering and you will be rewarded with a fresh set of pristine leaves. Everyone asks what they are!


2 metres + Full sun
