This dramatic perennial is renowned for its striking steel-blue, spiky flower heads that rise above textured, deeply lobed foliage, creating a sculptural statement in any garden. Flowering in summer, it offers a unique and captivating display that attracts bees and other pollinators, enhancing biodiversity.
Growing to about 70 cm tall and 50 cm wide, this plant thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, showing excellent drought tolerance once established. Its strong architectural form complements both contemporary and naturalistic garden styles, providing year-round structure and interest.
Its bold colour contrasts beautifully with softer, more delicate plants, making it a favourite for mixed borders, cutting gardens, and coastal landscapes. The steel-blue hues bring a cool, calming presence, while the spiky flower heads add dynamic texture.
Perfect for gardeners seeking low-maintenance, resilient plants with striking form and colour, this variety is a standout choice to elevate any sunny garden or outdoor space with both visual appeal and ecological value.
