Eryngium Neptune's Gold
Striking yellow foliage sits beneath the spiky, bright blue flowers of this golden leaved sea holly. The cones are thistle like and have a spiky ruff that starts as blue at the base and fades to gold at the tips. The flower heads stay on the plant a long time and add texture and interest to the winter garden, unless you cut them to dry for floral arrangements!
