OTHER: Silver Sea Holly has conical flowers that start out green, blooming in unique steel blue shades. They are surrounded by thistle-like silvery white bracts that really stand out & shine in the garden. The flower heads are very showy, measuring as much as 4 – 6” wide, & they will attract bees & butterflies. They stand above an evergreen basal rosette mound of heart shaped leaves. Sea Holly has a long bloom time, & make a wonderful dried flower either left in the garden for winter interest, or cut for a dried floral arrangement.
This species is sometimes commonly called Miss Willmott’s Ghost in reference to Ellen Willmott (1858-1934), English gardener in Essex, who so loved this plant with its silvery ghost-like appearance that she reportedly scattered its seed on a regular basis in gardens she visited without telling the owners.
