Cerinthe major | Honeywort | Unique, Early-Flowering Pollinator Magnet

Add a radiant and elegant touch to your spring garden with Cerinthe major, also known as Honeywort — a captivating annual loved for its distinctive purple-blue flowers and silvery, glaucous foliage. Among the first blooms to appear in spring, this easy-care plant forms graceful, cascading mounds of arching stems topped with bell-shaped flowers nestled in deep purple bracts.

A favourite of bees and pollinators, Honeywort thrives in sunny, well-drained soil and continues blooming well into summer. Perfect for cut flowers, borders, and naturalistic gardens, its cool-toned foliage contrasts beautifully with warm spring companions such as calendulas and Nigella (Love-in-a-Mist).
