I planted 2 of these 2 summers ago and for the life of me i can't recall what it is named. It is growing very well this year and have quadrupled it's size. To hide these ads please register / sign in

I mentioned in your blog that I thought that it was an Eryngium. It is difficult to see which one though. _________________ Sjoerd http://www.volkstuindersvereniginghoornenomstreken.nl/Page11.html
