FAQs

Cerinthe major Purpurascens, also known as honeywort, originates from the Mediterranean. This makes it well-suited to warm, sunny climates. It thrives in gardens that replicate its native conditions.

Sow Cerinthe major Purpurascens seeds in early spring for summer blooms or in autumn for early flowers the following year. Seeds can be sown directly into well-drained soil outdoors or started indoors in pots before transplanting.

Cerinthe major Purpurascens typically grows to a height of 45-60cm (18-24 in). Its arching stems and striking purple-blue flowers make it a popular choice for garden borders and containers, adding dramatic height either as a backdrop or as a centrepiece.
