Zabel Sea Holly 'Neptune's Gold', Sea Holly 'Neptune's Gold'
Eryngium x zabelii ‘Neptune’s Gold’ (Sea Holly) is an upright, herbaceous perennial with its multitude of intense, iridescent electric blue flowers, tightly packed into egg-shaped heads, that light up the garden in mid to late summer. They contrast against the spiny, bright golden foliage and flower bracts. The leaves emerge bright yellow, fade to chartreuse, and then age to a nice gold and green combination. The long-lasting, electric blue flowers are surrounded by bracts that are graduated from silver to gold and then soft lavender. A pretty color combination for borders, containers, foundations, mass plantings
