NEW FOR 2022! Deep indigo bracts on nodding stems tipped with royal purple flowers. Bees enter these tubular nectar sources to nearly their full length, then “buzz pollinate” with their wings loud enough to get one’s attention. Hummingbirds defend patches of cerinthe like prime territory. Planted 3’ apart, these will develop small bush forms about 24” tall. Closer spacing or mixing with other species (grasses and grains are good choices) makes taller longer stems.? ? Does well by direct seeding or transplanting, tolerating light spring frost and autumn dips into the mid 20s. Full sun to partial shade.
