Eryngium (Sea Holly) - Eryngium, also known as Sea Holly or "thistle," is an indispensable element in floristry for adding texture and a rustic character. Its greatest strength lies in contrast—it has a prickly, "wild" appearance but brings beautiful, deep blue or steel-green tones.
Expert Florist's View: Texture and Contrast
As florists, we love Eryngium for its sculptural quality and durability. It's a flower that immediately captures attention in a bouquet. It is extremely long-lasting both fresh and dried.
Tip from Andrea (Our Natural and Meadow Style Expert): "Eryngium is my secret favorite for 'breaking up' overly delicate bouquets. Its prickly texture creates a wonderful contrast to something soft, like roses or eustomas. It's also an absolute staple for bouquets for men, as it gives them strength and a modern, unique look."
