(P.P. 20636) Cone-shaped or rounded flowers are surrounded by stiff, spiny, petal like structures called bracts and are excellent for floral arrangements. Leave the stalks to dry on the plants as they provide wonderful winter interest as well as seed for birds. Drought and salt tolerant plants seldom need division. One of the 'biggest and bluest' sea hollies. Large, 4 inch, oblong flower heads are iridescent blue surrounded by finely divided, lacy blue bracts. Even the stems are blue, contrasting with spiky, silvery leaves. Introduced by Blooms of Bressingham.
