Echinops Ritro Cut Flower Seeds 

Echinops ritro is also known as ‘Globe Thistle’ with its shape and the purple-blue colour is vibrant enough to notice from a long distance. The plant grows upright and sturdy with long stems and has a spherical flower on top where the prickly dark green leaves are whitish beneath. This is actually softer than their sharp look from a distance with its tiny individual petal-like flowers on it. From late summer to autumn, the globular heads of round, light purple-blue flower heads on silvery branch leafy stems are unique with their amazing presence. Its unusual colour and structure have made it popular and thus an excellent cut or dried flower for arrangements. This is remarkably low maintenance and hardy which can resist drought, disease and pests; hence undoubtedly easy to grow plant.
