How to grow sea holly

Eryngium planum

When to plant sea holly

Propagate sea holly most easily by separating plantlets from the base of the parent plant, or from seed (NC State). Plant in full sun in well-drained sandy or loamy soil; the more sun it receives, the more intense the blue flower color.

Sea Holly is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
