Cerinthe major

A love this plant, can it not become a Thug though??

wow must like where it is

My husband would say so, Doon - because it has seeded into the gravel path!
However, the unwanted plants are very easy to pull up, so no problem there.

They do seem to like growing in gravel, Grindle - I threw some into my gravel garden, and they've grown well there!

Somehow mine never look as good as this.

How can they not, Toto? Mind you - these seedling plants haven't got the blue-y colour of the C. major 'Purpurascens'! Shame, that. :-((

Pleased you put this on Spritz....I've been given Cerinthe seeds and wasn't sure whether to just sprinkle them in the garden or in pots in compost.....think I'll pop them in the garden now...:o)

Yes, Janey - do - they'll germinate quickly! I don't bother with pots any more for these.

this is pretty.

Have you got this, Sbg? I'm sure I could get some ripe seeds off one, if you'd like some??

i have tried many may times and never got it to 'take'. I have planted seed, plantlets and established plants. all dead and gone withing 3 weeks. tried in diferent places in the garden too. possibly to alkaline :o(
so thanks but i wont murder any more :o)

Free? No probs collecting them - they'll only go to waste?? Oh - go on! One last try!

or go on then, twist my arm.
oh by the way i have a cream candydrops phygelius waiting to be packaged up for you. i will try and get it out to you by next weekend.

Oooohhh!!! Exciting! Thanks....I am PM-ing you. :-)

and i have just replied :o)

OK! :-)))

These are coming up all over the garden.

Yes, so are mine! Amazing, when you think that I sat patiently and picked loads of seeds to send off to GOY members!

Really isnt that typical, thought we had lost it earlier on in the season.

I don't think I COULD lose these, even if I wanted to, Dd! LOL.

Is it evergreen Spritz?

Yes. It's amazing, really! It's classed as an 'annual, possibly biennial'!!
