Known as “Blue-eyed African Daisy” because of the glowing blue flower centers, this dainty yet durable annual plant offers a full-season display in white or pastel yellow and orange flowers. Some varieties open and close with the daily movement of the sun. Originates in the hot, dry regions of South Africa, making it a perfect selection for novice gardeners or anyone seeking a low-maintenance landscape. Thrives just about anywhere, in sunny beds, borders, rock gardens and containers. Plant a number closer together for bold color impact.
Sea Holly, aka ‘Blue Hobbit’, features strong silver-blue stems holding distinctive blue pincushion flowers. An easy to grow, long-lived selection that is heat and drought tolerant. Adds a touch of fanciful texture or whimsy to the garden. Globe Thistle is a similar flower with a simpler classy silhouette of ball-on-stalk. Both are a reliable solution for hot or windy locations where nothing else can grow. They are a magnet for all sorts of pollinators and birds love the seeds. Ideal choice for beds, borders, and cutting gardens. Excellent accent for fresh or dried arrangements.
