We think self-seeding plants are a gift to the garden and we just love this one!
Cerinthe major or as it is commonly known Honeywort or Pride of Gibraltar is actually a native of the Greek Islands. The striking feature is the beautiful indigo violet bells rimmed in white that dangle gracefully from bronzy blue bracts that stand above the attractive grey-green leaves.
A standout plant for the summer garden, the nectar-laden flowers are an absolute bee magnet. We use these a lot in our cut flower garden and love the fact that they easily self sow. Looks stunning planted with yellow flowers as you can see in the background of one of our photos as the dark flowers really pop! If using for cutting be sure to remove the leaves from the stems to ensure that the water stays fresher longer.
Easy care, full sun in a well-drained position.

Upon checking out, the freight charged is applied based on weight and your location, including rural destinations.

- Our freight price is calculated by weight and volume based on pricing provided by NZ Post. For plant orders, you may wish to order the maximum number of plants that will fit in a box to make freight more cost-effective or perhaps share an order with a friend (e.g. In most cases up to 4 standard 1 Litre sized plants can fit in one of our smaller boxes and is the most cost-effective at the lowest shipping rate. However, areas such as Auckland or the Middle North Island may allow up to 12 standard 1 Litre sized plants before the next level shipping rate applied.)
- Plant orders will only be dispatched on Monday's and Tuesday's this will ensure that your order is not held in a depot over the weekend
