Eryngium alpinum

Eryngium alpinum, or Alpine sea holly, is a stunning plant found in Croatia's high-altitude meadows and rocky slopes.

With its striking blue flowers and spiny leaves, it thrives in cool, mountainous environments, adding a pop of colour to the alpine landscape.

As a rare species, Eryngium alpinum faces risks from habitat loss and climate change. Protecting its mountain habitats is essential to ensure the survival of this beautiful plant and preserve the biodiversity of Croatia’s alpine ecosystems.
