Also known as Honeywort, this unusual annual bears rounded, blue-green leaves on slender, upright stems. From late spring onwards masses of nodding, rich purple flowers, surrounded by blue-purple bracts appear at the stem tips, which are highly attractive to bees.
Cerinthe major 'Purpurascens' is an aristocratic plant, bringing understated elegance to the front of sunny borders. Blue-green leaves spiral up each stem of this bushy little annual.
This flamboyant grass makes a superb focal point for summer borders. The tall stems topped with feathery plumes of rich copper red look magnificent above clumps of narrow, green, arching foliage.
