(aka: Eryngium yuccifolium A5SC-033) Eryngium 'Berserkley' is not your grandmother's rattlesnake master. On a 2022 botanizing trip to coastal SC, we spotted a mowed off clump with particularly large leaves, growing in a wet roadside ditch. Within two years, a single division we brought home has grown into a monstrous 7' tall specimen. The 3" wide green leaves adorn the base, as it shoots skyward in spring. By late June, the towering flower stalks of green balls begin to open drawing in the pollinators, which consist mostly of native bees. If you'd like to look up to your pollinators, this is for you. We have our plants of this 2025 Plant Delights/JLBG introduction growing in dry sun, where it also thrives.
