Grow this unique and very attractive plant and attract hummingbirds and bees to your garden. Cerinthe major purpurascens, or commonly called Honeywort, grows quickly and produces an abundance of nodding, tubular, purple flowers on stems that gracefully arch.
Cerinthe grows as an annual in USDA zones 3 - 9 reaching a height of 18 inches.
