Eryngium Magical Red Thunder stands out as a bold and unique variety, adding striking architecture and a vibrant colour scheme to any garden. It forms clumps of rigid, spiky, pale green foliage, establishing a noticeable presence in your garden before the blooms even appear. From July onward, tall, upright stems emerge from the foliage, branching into rich maroon, thistle-like flowers that offer a dynamic, sculptural look. With its strong architectural form, Magical Red Thunder is an eye-catching statement plant, perfect for modern landscaping. Its Mediterranean-inspired appearance and drought tolerance make it ideal for coastal or gravel gardens, where it can provide bold vertical accents among lower-growing, mound-shaped perennials. The deep maroon flowers are a favorite of pollinators and also make stunning additions to both fresh and dried floral arrangements. Height: 2m (6.5ft). Spread: 60cm (2ft). Please note: The height and spread of the plant will vary according to the season, so we list by pot size rather than a fixed plant size. Arrival images are for reference only. Eryngium ‘Magical Red Thunder’ is a distinctive variety with spiky foliage and impressively tall stems topped with maroon thistle-like flowers from July to September. Grow sea holly plants on light, well drained soil in full sun. Eryngium plants particularly dislike cold, wet soil in winter which may cause the crown to rot. If planting on heavy soils, dig in plenty of coarse grit to improve drainage prior to planting.

Live Plants

Dobies strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

Non Standard Deliveries

Unfortunately like many companies in our industry we are currently only able to supply orders to UK based customers, excluding those in Northern Ireland. We are committed to finding a way that we can resume or normal services again as soon as possible. Please accept our apologies for any inconvience caused.

Prices include VAT where applicable.

We reserve the right to contact you and advise an additional charge where necessary and are happy to quote for carriage of specific products to more remote areas. Some items may not be available to all areas.

We reserve the right to revise any carriage charges in the event of carrier price increase or other unforeseen circumstances. We will always advise of the carriage charge before payment is taken.

All Dobies products should reach you in perfect condition, just as they left us. If you are dissatisfied in any way with their condition on arrival, please let us know within 14 days. We are only liable for the cost of the goods as quoted on the website plus the cost of delivery if the goods are faulty.

Unlike many companies, we publish all of our reviews - good or bad - to give you, the customer, total transparency and peace of mind.
