| Hi, I'm new to perennials this year, and planted a bunch of globe thistle that I just found out won't bloom this year. I would like a nice splash of blue. I understand non-bybridized sea holly generally doesn't bloom the first year. Does "Big Blue" sea holly? Has anyone had experience growing this? |

| don't know about big blue, but my sapphire blue is in its first year and it is already starting to bloom! |

| I planted an Eryngium 'Big Blue' Sea Holly last year and it did bloom the first year. It was a beauty in the garden all summer. Sadly, Hurricane Sandy did it in. We live along a tidal river and had quite a bit of flooding in the bottom half of the garden. (Glub! Glub!) We just replaced it today with a new plant from the same local source. This time we'll put it higher up in the yard. |

| Thanks for letting me know! And ugh, Molie, that's awful. Hope everything's back together for you. |
