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
