{"product_id":"echinops-taplow-blue","title":"Echinops 'Taplow Blue'","description":"\u003cp\u003eEchinops Taplow Blue is a fiercely rugged, architectural globe thistle that operates as an absolute heavyweight pollinator magnet. It builds a massive, spiky, grey-green framework before producing striking, metallic silvery-blue spherical flower heads that will literally vibrate with bees and hoverflies from dawn until dusk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou must plant it in full sun using poor, fast-draining chalky or sandy dirt, allowing its massive underground taproot to drive deep into the earth. It actively thrives on total neglect and drought, but absolutely resents being dug up or moved once established, and you must not fertilise it, or it will grow weak and flop over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GardenersDream","offers":[{"title":"9cm pot","offer_id":59313200365902,"sku":"PLANTS_-V-_ECHTBL_9CM","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0862\/7827\/5406\/files\/00_GardenersDream_Echinops_Taplow_Blue.jpg?v=1778227695","url":"https:\/\/www.gardenersdream.co.uk\/products\/echinops-taplow-blue","provider":"Gardeners Dream","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
