Cerinthe major ‘Purpurascens’ (Blue shrimp plant)
Botanical Name: Cerinthe major ‘Purpurascens’ Common Name: Blue shrimp plant Genus: Cerinthe
Though subtly colored, Cerinthe major ‘Purpurascens’ draws comment wherever it inserts itself. The steely purple bracts and leathery gray foliage of this annual seem extraterrestrial poking up among more conventional herbaceous plants. It is an annual from the Mediterranean region with leaves like a eucalyptus and flowers like a purple euphorbia. This plant produces large black seeds that drop to the ground in late summer and germinate in fall to start the cycle all over again if growing conditions are right.
Noteworthy characteristics: Grayish-green foliage, deep-purple bracts. Unusual appearance. Can be used as an annual.
Care: Thrives in a variety of soils and does best in full sun or very light shade.
Propagation:. Sow the seeds in pots or plant growing bags (see our Plant Growing Bags). Plant out the seedlings when they are about 50-75mm tall. Seed can also be sown in situ after danger of frost is past.
