Prickly, large, open flower heads have wonderful steel-blue color. The flowers bloom in summer and are excellent for cutting and use in fresh arrangements or dried - but be careful when harvesting as the flowers and foliage have needle-like structures that can poke you! Plants tolerate hot, dry soils. Must plant in very well-drained soil or plants have a tendency to rot.
