Latin Name:  Eryngium graecum
Family:  Umbelliferae
Author:  L.

Known Hazards:  None known

Mature Height:     Mature Width:

Habitat:  Not known

Cultivation Notes: We have almost no information on this species and do not know if it will be hardy in Britain. It is not in 'Flora Europaea' and so there is a very good chance that it is not a valid name. Judging by the needs of other members of this genus it probably requires a well-drained soil and a sunny position[1], preferring a light sandy soil but tolerating most soil types including lime and poor gravels[200]. Plants should be put in their final position whilst small since they resent root disturbance[200].
