Sowing Eryngium Seed

  Everybody loves a freebie...⁠
And I was delighted to be given this Eryngium seed head. It's from the garden of one of my regular subscription customers (a skilled & knowledgeable gardener). She gave it to me when I was delivering her flowers.⁠   It might look a bit scruffy - but It's full of lovely fresh seed! ⁠
It's a good time of year to sow seed of perennial flowers - after all, that's exactly what Mother Nature is doing. I've sown the seed in a tray. (Simply scattered on compost mixed with vermiculite, popped into a quiet corner of the cold frame. No heat needed, just need patience.)
 I'm not sure which variety it is - possibly Eryngium 'Miss Wilmott's Ghost'. Those spikes are vicious!
  Fingers crossed they germinate well & I'll have a nice patch of plants on the way.⁠ Hopefully soon I'll be cutting plenty of stems of it.
