Thistles, spikes and bees


If you don't have any thistles or eryngiums in your garden I strongly suggest that you get some.  They might not be an obvious choice of garden plant, but they have architectural foliage, striking flowers, a long season of interest and they are adored by bees. What is not to love!
Eryngium zabellii Big Blue has incredibly vibrant blue flowers
