CERINTHE SEEDS

The Cerinthe genus, commonly known as Honeywort, is a striking member of the Boraginaceae family. These herbaceous annuals and perennials are celebrated for their unique, tubular flowers in shades of purple, blue, or yellow, often accompanied by colourful, bract-like leaves. Cerinthe adds a touch of whimsy and elegance to borders, containers, and cottage gardens.

Native to the Mediterranean region, Cerinthe thrives in well-drained soils and sunny locations, making it ideal for dry or coastal gardens. These drought-tolerant plants are particularly valued for their ability to attract pollinators such as bees. Species like Cerinthe major 'Purpurascens' are especially popular for their vivid purple blooms and silvery-green foliage.

The Cerinthe genus combines beauty, resilience, and wildlife value, making it an excellent choice for gardeners looking to create colourful, pollinator-friendly displays.
