The globe thistle is an unusual eye-catcher in the garden with its blue flower balls. The spherical flowers shine in steel blue and also attract bees and bumblebees. This is why the insect-friendly (bot.) Echinops ritro 'Veitchs Blue' is also popular with beekeepers. The steel-blue flowers harmonize perfectly with the gray-green leaves of the perennial, which has only a few thorns. The Veitchs globe thistle 'Veitchs Blue' grows upright and in clumps. Even as a single plant, this globe thistle is attractive in the bed. Its flower heads are more effective in a small group. It looks beautiful in borders and mixed beds and often serves as an excellent companion for roses. Plant lovers also like to use this perennial, also known as the Ruthenian globe thistle, as a cut flower.
