Cerinthe Major – Purpurascens

Description

You are going to love this plant. It even feels unusual to the touch, and has a coloring that you will not see anywhere else, with the blue-green leaves behind the purple bracts that will take on a deeper purple, metallic hue as they age. So if you are a plant collector, like I am, you are going to have fun with this one. The parent plant will explode the seeds a considerable distance, so have the kids watch for that too. It is a Mediterranean plant.
