Water: Silver eryngo thrives in dry, rocky regions with high drought tolerance and low moisture needs. For optimal care, water weekly, allowing soil to dry between waterings. It prefers well-drained conditions and is best cultivated outdoors due to its resilience and low maintenance requirements.
Pruning: Silver eryngo features silver-blue foliage with a spiny texture. Prune in early to late spring to remove dead stems and encourage growth. Use sharp tools for sanitation, trimming spent flowers to extend blooming. Pruning improves airflow, reduces pests, and maintains its ornamental appeal without being overly aggressive.

Optimal germination occurs on well-drained soil with light exposure.
