Eryngium
Also known as Sea Holly, Eryngium is a thistle like plant that is the epitome of an English Country Garden vision. Full of texture, the foliage and flowers both sing with a star-like form and make an understated addition amongst contrasting soft-textured and delicate florals. Alternatively display them on their own in a plain vase or container to really emphasise the purple and blue hues in these gorgeous blooms.
