Cerinthe major 'Purpurescens' Cut Flower Seeds |
|
Cerinthe major 'Purpurescens' is a gorgeous hardy annual that has waxy blue-green foliage and tubular purple flowers that hang down inside deep blue bracts. It looks very exotic but is very easy to grow & copes perfectly well in borders or containers and makes an excellent cut flower.
Cerinthe major 'Purpurescens' self-seeds very easily so once sown new seedlings may appear every year. It reaches a height of 45cm with a spread of 30cm.
Its common name is 'Honeywort' and it is loved by bees.
Approx 8 seeds per pack.
