Sickly sea holly ?

Hi Everyone, I could really use some help and advice I have purchased the enclosed sea holly and it looks like its clearly suffering the effects of heat and travel via the postal system I have received the plant today and I have given it a good watering and left it in some partial shade on the patio any other advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
John

 

Give it a good drink, if rain forecast put it where it`s going, and it should , hopefully settle , where did you buy it.

 

It looks to me like it wants sending back to where you purchased it from because it shouldn't be looking like that

We have seen wild sea hollys growing along the coasts in sand dunes this week and they are in full sun and all the large plants are in flower.They seem to like the sandy conditions they are growing in.

If you can see if you can put it somewhere in the shade where it can at least retain some moisture.I don't think the wilted flower spike will recover but you might be lucky.

I wouldn't stick it in the ground until it has recovered a bit as the shock could finish it off.It is already suffering as it is and might be too far gone but with some TLC(Tender Loving Care) it might survive as I can see one or two green leaves.It could also be lacking in nutrients and that is what is making the leaves go yellow.

Do let us know how you get on because they look a beautiful plant if somewhat spiney
