Plant Description:Globe Thistle is a well-behaved perennial for the border, despite its name.
Plants form a bushy, upright mound of thistly looking grey-green leaves, bearing stems of ball-shaped steel-blue flowers through the summer.
Excellent for cutting fresh or drying. Attractive to butterflies. Globe Thistle should be divided every 3 to 4 years, in early spring.
Plants may be trimmed to the ground in late fall, or left for winter interest. In areas with wet soil in winter, better success may come from growing these in a raised bed. May need staking.
Echinops ritro or 'Globe Thistle' is a hardy perennial and a non demanding plant for the border.
This robust, upright herbaceous perennial has jaggedy-divided, prickly dark green leaves which are whitish beneath.

In late summer through to autumn, the globular heads of round, violet-blue flower heads appear, each on silvery, branched leafy stems. The handsome spherical buds open into flower from the top down.
The flowers have a metallic lustre and may be cut and dried for winter decoration.
The plants are suitable for the back of the herbaceous border and will attract many bees and butterflies into the garden.
