This tiny eryngium is more like a groundcover with tiny blue flowers that emerge. “A larval host for the Black swallowtail butterfly. Baldwin?s eryngo occurs naturally in wet hammocks and in disturbed areas such as moist roadsides. It typically blooms in summer, although it has been known to bloom as early as spring and into the fall. It attracts small bees and butterflies.” – Floridawildflowers.org
