<< Hi All:
I have been given some seed of Cerinthe Major which is a hardy annual. Can
I start the seed now and plant out to overwinter for early bloom in the
spring. I do have a greenhouse where the propagated seed can be when it
gets cold. Or would I do just as well with planting them in place in early
spring. Does anyone know if they will bloom the first year from seed?
Thanks >>
My experience is with C. major purpurscens. I live in Michigan, and over the
couple of seasons that I grew it ( from seed ) I found these things to be
true:
~It prefers cooler tempratures ( and performs better).
~It re-seeds, like mad.
~One season, it remained evergreen.
~Blooms within 2 months.
Beautiful plant.
