Didn't do well for me
Started to grow really well but I don't think the summer helped despite my watering. Maybe this year I might get a better show

This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.

Hello, No, this plant is a really sun-lover, so it will not thrive in partial shade.

Hello Linda, Eryngiums love well drained, poor soils with lots of sun, so if it is not flourishing, it is possible that your soil is too heavy and wet for it - especially after all this rain we have had. The best thing you can do then is to move it to a soil that has better drainage (or even a pot) and it should pick up.

Hello again Edel, Do give it a feed, but I would not expect to see instant results - it may be that the plant won't flower until next year. Best regards, Helen Plant Doctor

Hi Helen That's great. Thanks a lot. I'll give it a feed and see what happens - such a brilliant plant. Thanks Edel

Hello Edel, There may not necessarily be anything wrong, but one may be putting most of its energies into producing leaves rather than flowers. Unfortunately plants do not always grow in the same way, but given the right conditions there is no reason why it won't eventually flower. All you need to do is make sure it gets well fed and watered and gets plenty of sun. If you want to give it a bit of a push you can feed it with Tomorite. I hope this helps. Helen Plant Doctor
