I have 2 of them - one has very pale, glaucous foliage (pinnata sub.sp neapolitanus) while the other is a deeper green with brighter yellow button-like flowers (S.incana?) It is usual to cut the little flowers off (they are frequently kept tightly trimmed, practically topiaried) but I like to leave mine - they do grow well in poor dry soil, full sun, and do well with lavender and thymes. Like lavenders, it does need shearing back every season (and you can cut quite hard to keep it neat). It also makes quite a good hedging plant (a substitute for box). Not spectacular but a deeply useful and versatile shrub for a mediterranean type climate.

I have Happy Returns and Echinops Ritro (Globe Thistle) in my gardens and I love them both! Echinops is a beautiful shade of blue, and the blooms last a long time (several weeks). I leave the flower heads up when they're done blooming because when they dry out they attract tons of goldfinches who like to feed on them. They look great with anything yellow or pink planted near them - I have White Ehinacea, Luxuriant Bleeding Heart, and the yellow daylilies near mine and I love that part of the garden. In addition to what others have said about the echinops (that it likes good drainage), it has a long taproot and it doesn't like to be moved. . .so if you plant it, make sure it has good drainage before you put it in (doesn't have to be anything exotic, just make sure the soil isn't too clay-y underneath and don't put it in the lowest spot in the garden)...and make sure it's in a place where you won't want to move it after it gets established (mine is in the back of a border near the corner where it can pretty much do whatever it wants to do...)
