Cerinthe major purpurescens "Blue Kiwi"

The Dalles, OR(Zone 8b)

I just LOVE this plant!!! I planted it last year, had a wonderful show of flowers, and it reseeded last fall. They are a hardy annual so the seedlings overwintered and are putting on a beautiful show already. Here is a shot of one section of the bed containing these plants. Aren't they colorful? I wish you all could see them in person.

Oh, thank you. I've never even seen this beautiful blue plant before, now I'm off on a search.

Lincoln, NE(Zone 5b)

Lovely photos! I stated some from seeds a few years ago, but they did not seem to like the hot, dry weather here in NE. May have to try them again.
