erinthe major Purpurascens . . .

Is a Fascinating annual
Rising above clumps of fleshy, Blue-Green leaves, the Purplish-Blue upper leaves and deep Blue flower bracts of Honeywort are what first attract gardeners to this Mediterranean native. They make the top of this 2-ft.-tall plant look as if it’s been dipped in Iridescent Blue dye.

Cerinthe Major has nodding clusters of rich, Purple-Blue, tube-like flowers dangling gracefully on arching stems from spring to fall

This is easy to grow from seed and even politely self-sows without being invasive. In mild-winter climates, seedlings may appear in late summer and bloom the following spring, behaving like biennials or short-lived perennials.

You will be mesmerized by these magical blooms

. . . and your Cerinthes will be buzzing with bees in summer to its lovely fragrant scent.

Honeywort is a hummingbird magnet, and it attracts bees and birds yet it is resistant to deer. This Honeywort plant is fast-growing and so rewarding to grow from flower seeds.

Best grown in well-draining soil in Full Sun. Do not over-water
This beauty thrives in a variety of climates and after established, needs only occasional watering . . .
. . . And Loves the Heat
