Thistle

Thistle (Eryngium) is a hardy, spiky accent bloom known for its unique texture and cool-toned blue or silver coloring. It adds dimension, structure, and contrast to DIY flower arrangements without overpowering focal flowers. Expect variation in head size, stem branching, and intensity of blue tones.

Typical bunch size: 8-10 stems.

DIY Care & Handling Tips

Unbox immediately upon receiving.

Recut stems and hydrate upright for 6–12 hours; keep in a cool location.

Remove any foliage below the water line.

Stems are firm and woody—use sharp clippers for clean cuts.

Heads are sturdy but spiky; handle carefully to avoid breaking outer bracts.

Thistle holds up exceptionally well and can also be used dried.

Avoid direct heat to prevent dry, brittle petals.
