Treat as an annual - self seeds 
readily - likes sun but will take 
partial shade.Can be used in pots. 

The unusual leaf colour with 
nodding blue flower heads make 
this plant another favourite. 
It isn't a thug and really lights up 
any planting scheme. Will stay 
partially upright with the longer 
stems trailing down so it's good 
at the front of a border.

I use this plant regularly in low 
maintenance garden planting 
schemes. 


Certainly attracts attention! 

Cerinthe major Purpurascens
