藍刺頭 '北極光'

These stems are impressively sturdy, standing tall even after a heavy rainstorm last week. The silvery-blue spheres add such a unique texture to my garden that I find myself checking on them every morning.

The blue-white spheres are even more striking in person, and the stems are so sturdy they haven't needed any staking despite a few windy days. I cut a few for a vase and they held their shape beautifully for over a week.

Finally got these in the ground and they're already drawing attention; the whitish-blue spheres are such a cool contrast against the green foliage. The stems are surprisingly sturdy too, holding up well even after a couple of windy days.
