Erinacea Pungens

From LoveToKnow Garden

Erinacea Pungens - A dwarf, much-branched shrub, forming foot-high cushions of spiny branches, and producing in May and June pea-shaped flowers of an exquisite blue shade. The species is an old introduction from Spain, and despite hardiness and distinctive beauty, still remains one of the most rare of hardy plants. Best suited to sunny positions in the rock garden. Increased by seeds when procurable, and layers. It grows well in sandy loam, or this with peat added.
