Eryngium aquaticum / SNAKEROOT
Eryngium aquaticum, commonly known as snakeroot, is a striking perennial plant that features spiky, steel-blue flowers surrounded by bracts, giving it a unique, thistle-like appearance. Its tall, upright stems and glossy green leaves create an interesting contrast with the bold, architectural blooms, making it a standout in any garden. Native to wetland areas, snakeroot thrives in moist, well-drained soils and full to partial sunlight, making it a great choice for rain gardens, pond edges, or naturalized spaces. The plant is not only ornamental but also attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies, adding to its ecological value. With its unusual appearance, drought tolerance, and ability to thrive in damp environments, Eryngium aquaticum is a hardy and distinctive addition to any garden.
