Blue globe thistle

60 seeds

To seed Blue Globe Thistle (Echinops ritro), choose a sunny location with well-draining soil. Lightly scatter the seeds on the soil surface and press them down gently, as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which usually occurs in 14-30 days. This striking perennial produces spiky, globe-shaped blue flowers that attract pollinators and add architectural interest to gardens, borders, or wildflower meadows. Blue Globe Thistle is drought-tolerant and thrives in a variety of soil types once established.
