Product DescriptionOverview and what to expect

Cerinthe major Purpurascens Seeds produce unusual purple flowers surrounded by striking sea-blue bracts above attractive foliage, creating a bold architectural effect in borders and wildlife gardens. Also known as Honeywort, this drought tolerant annual thrives in sunny positions and flowers continuously from June to October. Ideal for informal planting schemes and containers, the bushy upright plants attract bees and pollinators while adding distinctive colour and texture to the garden. Growing to around 60cm tall, they are easy to grow and highly effective in mixed summer displays.
