Eryngium Neptunes Gold is a striking example of an eryngium. Imagine this in an eryngium, “the spiky bracts are silvery blue at the base, turning gold at the tips. The stems of ‘Neptune’s Gold’ are blue, and the foliage yellow”. This is spectacular, rare, and exciting in the world of eryngium varieties. A wonderful plant to add texture to your borders and containers. Astounding as a cut or dried flower for arrangements within your home. Attractive not just to you but also to bees and butterflies, Eryngium Neptunes Gold is drought tolerant, preferring well-drained soil in sun. Flourishing for years without the need for winter protection. The sculptured foliage makes a perfect foil to display the beautiful flowers. A beautiful variety of eryngium and well-worth considering.
