![Echinops Ritro - Blue Globe Thistle](http://a4dibbleplants.co.nz/cdn/shop/products/echinops_{width}x.jpg?v=1663980375)
This unusual and charming has cobweb-like, woolly foliage. The unique ball shaped flowerheads appear steely blue before maturing to a brighter blue. The late summer flowers add charm and texture to a mixed border. The colour is a true blue and quite deep and if picked before the flower fully opens will dry well and retain colour.
