How to take care of Eryngium planum Blauer Zwerg
Happiest in dry, well-drained soil that is poor to moderately fertile. Full sun is essential as is protection from winter wet as it may be affected by powdery mildews and root rot. Although you can cut back flower stems after flowering to encourage new growth for the following season the seedheads are a very attractive feature so are usually left over winter. Watch out for leaf and bud eelworms. Clumps can be divided in spring but they dislike root disturbance.
