Sea Holly is a low maintenance pollinator plant that will make a beautiful addition to your pollinator garden.
In addition to winter and indoor sowing, Sea Holly can be seeded directly into your garden in late summer or fall. If sowing indoors, place the seeds in the refrigerator for 4 weeks before sowing. Sea Holly requires cold stratification to germinate.
Following are other varieties of Eryngium:
• Alpine Sea Holly (E. alpinum) - Native to alpine pastures of Switzerland, both the flowers and stems of this species are considered the bluest of the genus. Growing about 2 feet (60 cm.) high, you'll find this one at its peak during July and August.
• Amethyst Sea Holly (E. amethystinum) - Growing 1-1½ feet (45 cm.) tall, this European native is one of the most cold hardy of the genus. It has beautiful amethyst blue flowers and a somewhat straggling nature.
Zones 2-8
• Mediterranean Sea Holly (E. bourgatii) - Native to Pyrenees, this variety reaches 1-2 feet (30-60 cm.) and consists of lively blue-green flowers with silver bracts and white veins within its coarse, spiny leaves. Zones 5-9
• Giant Sea Holly (E. giganteum) - Also known as Miss Wilmot's Ghost (named for English gardener Ellen Wilmot), this Caucasus native makes an excellent plant for grouping in a background, growing from 3 to 4 feet (90-120 cm.) or higher. While it may require staking, its heart-shaped leaves and large flowers are worth the extra effort. Zones 4-7
• Moroccan (E. variifolium) - grows in stiffly erect branched stems 12-18 inches tall and produces numerous silver-blue flower heads. Zones 5-9
• Rattlesnake Master (E. yuccifolium) - A native to the eastern United States with creamy chartreuse, button-like flowers and strap-like leaves, this species reaches 2 to 4 feet (60-120 cm.) tall. Its name is said to derive from the myth that these plants could cure rattlesnake bites or drive them away. Zones 3-8
• Common Sea Holly (E. maritimum) - This plant is one of the smallest, growing from 6 inches to 1 1/2 feet (15-45 cm.) high. Zones 4-9

I planted this last summer and this year it's doing very well. I'm in 6A/B. Thank you for the video
@@gargozer Thanks for commenting
Not only learned about a new plant but also a cool factoid that bees will overwinter in hollow plant stems if the opening is exposed. Thank you for a great video packed with practical information and no hype.
Thank you so much. My goal with this channel is to help others learn and be better gardeners.
Very interesting video
I had this plant and Russian Sage years back and am growing both from seed this year and quite excited to have them again. They should love the sandy arid garden we have. Yes, pollinators love those multi petaled flowers.
Thanks for commenting!
Roses are the silent nature vibrant with all kinds of life.
Thanks for commenting.
Sea holly is so beautiful 🌸 I used to grow one plant in a pot and then I planted it into the garden and the roots were eaten by voles. When I get hold of one again I will leave it in a container. Thank you very much for sharing 👍
Walmart usually has them
Thanks for commenting. They are easy to grow from seed.
Walmart has them this year.
I grew some from seed last year. This year I am happy to see all the plants I planted are coming up. I'm hoping for some blooms this year maybe:)
I'm sure it will bloom again. Thanks for commenting and sharing.
I appreciated this video
Thank you

Thanks for visiting
Thanks for the recommendation! I will try this year.
Awesome! Good luck. Thanks for commenting.
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Thank you for the info. I just started sea holly seeds.
Wonderful! Thanks for commenting.
I bought a pack recently. Just planted them last week and they are up already with those little rounded leaves. I had no idea they would get as big as your video shows. I have them both in pots currently but would love to put them into the ground by my garden eventually
Wonderful! Thanks for commenting.
Neat flowers! Really do remind me of rattlesanke master.
Same family. I have RSM in my garden also. Thanks for commenting.
Very comprehensive video, best I’ve seen for sea holly. I’m trying a mix of them with rattle snake master and some verbena
Thanks for commenting. I have some of mine planted with Globe Thistle.
Nice work Cathy! I love the way you document the whole season, very helpful! I subscribed, I know that being in south PA zone 7(ish) ...whatever you're growing, so can I! I wonder if I could head off the main stem before the flower stems pop out, to keep it shorter?
Thank you so much for the comment. Yes, you can cut it back to control the height.
Thx for the helpful information
Happy to help. Thanks for commenting.
Great Video! Thanks!
You are welcome. Thanks.
Love your videos.
Thank you! Glad you like them.
❤❤❤❤❤
Hello 👋 😊😊
Thanks
Thanks for the video. Do they do well in containers
Thanks for commenting. I have never tried it in a container.
Just subscribed:)
Thank you much! Welcome to the channel.
I have this plant you call a sea holly, (not the name on tag) it's growing in a pot , kinda neat looking, doesn't bloom for very long.
Thanks for commenting
I’ve seen this in professional floral arrangements.
Thanks for commenting. I didn't know it was used in floral arrangements.
@@CEGNatives Very expensive floral arrangements at that! I didn’t know what it was. I’m going to plant some of this unusual plant. Thank you for a very nice presentation.
You're welcome!
Sea holly is a gorgeous plant however it puts off a horrible odor like poop!! have seen many videos on this
Thanks for commenting. I haven't noticed any odor from mine yet.
@@CEGNatives I guess if it's far enough away the smell won't permeate the area, don't know . I love the way this plant looks but the smell issue is the only reason I haven't purchased seeds. good luck!!
I will never plant this again. It is like a weed. Lots of baby plants came up the next year. Very large tap root in a short amount of time. Never again
Thanks for commenting. I deadhead mine before they go to seed. Have only had 4 new plants in 2 years. I find thistles to be "love 'em or hate 'em" plants.
Exactly the same here! I did move some last year and thought I’d cleared it all to make space for a rose garden.
Nope. It grows deep. I was back in there today trying to get the last of it out so I can enrich the soil over winter here. I think it will be a life long struggle.
I moved the roots last year to where my echium is as that is “blue” corner.. at least that’s the plan.
But where I want to move my roses too? It’s going to be a struggle.
@@CEGNativesit’s not the seed.
It’s the root.
