As the heat dome continues to blast through the US, many are battling the constant struggle to keep plants hydrated and healthy. But the real trick to having a thriving garden in the midst of a heatwave is choosing drought-tolerant, heat-loving plants that won't wilt as soon as the sun hits.
Enter, eryngium. Also known as sea holly, this blue (or white) thistle-like plant is my go-to for a fuss-free summer perennial. Perfect for growing in containers (especially compact varieties like these eryngium 'Blue Hobbit' seeds on Amazon), it's a gorgeous plant to have on your patio to keep your hosting space looking bright and lively even in scorching temperatures.
