Cerinthe - Rich sky blue bracts contrast with deep purple blue flowers. This outstanding annual is hardy up to - 5. Cerinthe attracts bees and other nectar feeders. Self sows and makes a great cut-flower for a dinner bouquet and conversation piece. Unique seeds contain 2 plants each. Sow several in one area to accomplish bush effect. Fantastic for borders. Red Coreopsis - One of the best and oldest varieties of cultivated wildflowers. These plants prefer the well drained poor soil many of us are blessed with! Great cut flower and can be dried.Known for drawing butterflies, bing drought tolerant and even deer resistant. Adds a punch of unusual color to any landscape. Snapdragon Mix - Many of us remember and love Snapdragons from our childhood. They are easy to grow, cold hardy, free flowering, sweetly scented and make an excellent cut-flower. The blooms are a special adaptation of nature that allows the bumble bee to be the only pollinator strong enough to open them. Snapdragons are deer resistant and self sow making them a perfect pick for wildflower gardens and rural areas. Blooms June to heavy frost.
Cerinthe Red Coreopsis Snapdragon Mix
(Major purpurascens) (coreopsis tinctoria) (Antirrhinum majus)
