Instructions
Top Tip
Eryngium prefers poor, well-draining soil and minimal fertilization for best growth and blooms. Deadhead to encourage prolonged flowering.
How to Water
Water sparingly once established, as Eryngium thrives in dry conditions. Avoid waterlogging by allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Young plants need regular watering until roots develop.
How to Plant
Plant Eryngium in well-draining, sandy soil with full sun exposure. Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball, place the plant, and backfill firmly. Avoid overly rich soil, as it may reduce flowering. Space plants to ensure good airflow.
