Notes
'White Glitter' eryngium (Eryngium planum 'White Glitter') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to average, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. White flowers appear from early to late summer and again in early autumn, and butterflies and bees visit the blooms. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Silver sage, Feather reed grass, Blue fescue, and Lamb’s ear.
