Eryngium x zabelii 'Big Blue'
After travelling for days in what had to have been a hot truck, in total darkness, these plants arrived in great condition. This company does a fantastic packing job. I ordered over 20 plants and not a single once had any shipping damage. This was my first experience with US Perennials but it definitely won't be my last
