Thistle

The Blue Thistle is a flowering herb just as prized for its exquisite color as its rare shape. Eryngium stems typically grow between 60-182 cm in height, feature basal leaves in varying shades (either silver, green, blue or purple) and are topped with cone-shaped flower heads. These thistle-like heads are encased by spiny bracts that are usually steel-blue or purple in color. Colors: Blue, violet. With its strong and bold appearance, Eryngium is known to symbolize independence and attraction.
