Eryngium, also known as the more-pronounceable 'Sea Holly', is of sentimental value to me, as it was something my husband and I planted in our beautiful front yard garden of my very first home back in the City of Roses, and it's when I really started paying attention to the little details in the garden of how plants behaved. Eryngium is not one that you can move, as it has a very, very long taproot, and so you have to be thoughtful about where you plant it in your garden. But oh my is she pretty or what, y'all? So much so that I've planted three different varieties and am overwhelmed by how two thus far are thriving BIG time in the shite soil I planted them in (an area I think was formerly a gravel bed in years past and was covered with mulch when we arrived, much to my surprise...). I think my favorite descriptor on a plant these days is "tolerates poor soils". It's a badass. Plant some and see!
