creamy white buttons (fall) |

wet soils: swamps and bogs |
Flowers look the same as E. yuccifolium, which explains the same common name - but this one grows in different soil conditions. Some sources list them as synonyms, but this one is clearly different, with a different leaf shape and growth habit. In its first year from seed, it is already a robust plant.
Update: it did not return the next year. Trying again this year.

We left this plant behind in our Pennsylvania garden (and wish it well); we don't grow it in Houston. Read about all the eryngium species in our garden About my plant portraits
