I just found the most gorgeous plant in a gallon size: was labelled
Eryngium planum.  When I looked it up, I read about a plant called
Eryngium alpinum, which sounds like the one I have.  Does anyone know if
these are the same plant?

It has spiky bracts, leaves and stems as well as conical flowerheads,
all suffused with a soft purplish blue.  It is about 24" tall now, and
would be lovely in a mass planting.  Can anyone tell me about the
conditions it likes? Does the color last all season?  I am tempted to go
back and get more plants of this.
