The thistlelike, 1–1½" flowers of this fantastic sea holly make unique fresh-cut and dried arrangements. The compact habit also works beautifully for the front of a sunny border or a mixed container, where it’ll bring in the butterflies and beneficial pollinators. It’s easy to maintain and tolerant of heat, deer, drought and poor soils that are dry or high in salts. Over time, it will spread beautifully and can easily be divided in early spring.
