Perennial
Absolutely stunning variety with bracts and leaves that resemble filigreed metal
Grows to about 40’ tall at maturity
Needs good drainage and dry soil conditions
Full sun
Bracts emerge green and age to rich sky blue, then turn almost a silvery colour as they set seed
Beautiful paired with tall airy grasses.
VERY Prickly. This plant will bite.
Cut flower
Good for dried bouquets provided you wear a pair of leather gloves and cut before it sets seed.
Surface sow on a mix of regular seed starting mix with either ½ sand or perlite added to increase drainage. You can sow indoors or out
