Cerinthe - Honeywort

4" Pot

ANNUAL

Cerinthe, also known as Honeywort, is a striking ornamental herb and a relative of borage. Its smooth, blue-green foliage and uniquely changing flower bracts make it a standout in any garden. The bracts deepen to a rich blue at night and shift to a soft purple in warmer daylight, creating an ever-changing display.

A favourite among pollinators, Cerinthe is low-maintenance and thrives with little effort, self-seeding freely to return year after year. Its graceful, arching stems and bell-shaped blooms make it an excellent choice for borders, containers, and cut flower arrangements.

Cerinthe thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. It grows beautifully in garden beds, cottage-style plantings, and containers, bringing an elegant yet wild charm to any setting.

Native to the Mediterranean, Cerinthe has been grown for centuries as an ornamental plant and bee-friendly herb. Historically, it was prized for its nectar-rich flowers that attract pollinators, making it a valuable companion plant for vegetable and herb gardens.

Fertilize regularly. Plant 12-18" apart.
