The usual cerinthe is one of my all-time favourite border filler and cut flower foliages — and now there's this one, that's even better, bigger, smokier and more purple.

Description

The usual cerinthe is one of my all-time favourite border filler and cut flower foliages — and now there's this on, that's even better, bigger, smokier and more purple, it's set for the stars.

Care Tips

Autumn sowings can be planted out in autumn in mild areas or kept in a greenhouse or coldframe for planting out in spring. Cut flowers regularly for the vase and to prolong flowering. Remove seedheads if you do not want it to self-sow.
