Care Guide

Average Pest and Disease Resistance
Eryngiums can have issues with Slugs and Snails

Water Lightly
Eryngium needs very little watering if at all. If you experience a very hot and prolonged dry period the plants may need to be watered if they look distressed. Otherwise

Full Sun to Partial Shade
Plant somewhere where the plant will receive around 6 hours of direct sunlight every day.MORE

Any Well-Drained Soil
Eryngium performs best in dry and well-drained soils. If your soil is particularly clay heavy and gets waterlogged often then try mixing in plenty of organic matter such as garden compost and also perlite or gravel to improve drainage.MORE

Not Required
Don't worry

Prune Lightly
Prune away flower stems after the bloom has finished and give the plant a little tidy up in spring removing any dead leaves.MORE
