Notes
'Kiwi Blue' cerinthe (Cerinthe major 'Kiwi Blue') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and containers. Cool weather suits it, and it can take a light frost. This plant likes full sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It grows 28 to 32 inches tall and bears blue and green blooms that draw hummingbirds and bees. It is a prolific bouquet filler, so you can cut stems often.
Pairs well with ProCut White Lite sunflower, Nigra hollyhock, and Red fescue.
