Editor's Note

Sea holly serves as a striking architectural anchor in any garden. Its unique silvery-white bracts and metallic cones offer a sculptural quality that pairs beautifully with softer, mounded perennials like lavender. Use it to add texture to borders; its stiff stems maintain visual interest late into the season while thriving in sunny, well-drained locations.
