HISTORY

Globe thistles (Echinops spp.) have been cultivated in European gardens since the 16th century, admired for their unusual globular blooms and resilience. The ‘Blue Globe’ cultivar became especially popular in cottage gardens and modern landscapes for its vivid coloring and bee-attracting qualities. Its structural flowers also made it a staple in dried floral work, where the blue tones endure long after harvest.

Climate: Temperate to Mediterranean climates

GROWING CONDITIONS

Dry to moderately moist, well-drained soil. Prefers full sun and tolerates poor or rocky ground.

Symbol: Independence, strength, and protection

USES

Eryngium Echinops ‘Blue Globe’ is prized in perennial borders, pollinator-friendly gardens, and naturalistic plantings. In floristry, its spiky, globe-shaped blooms bring contrast, structure, and a modern edge to fresh or dried arrangements. Its metallic-blue hue pairs well with softer pastels or bold summer tones.
