‘Purple Bells’ is an open-pollinated cerinthe prized for its electric purple-blue coloring, quick growth, and exceptional value as a cut flower. Distinctive blooms add dramatic color to the garden while tall plants provide beautiful height and contrast toward the backs of borders.
Plant ‘Purple Bells’ seeds about ¼ inch deep and space plants about 12 inches apart. Germination typically takes 7 to 21 days. This drought-tolerant variety develops plants reaching approximately 18 to 24 inches tall.
Ready to bloom in about 70 days, enjoy the flowers as they open and reach their best display stage. Cut stems at their peak for striking additions to fresh arrangements.
Bold, unusual, and dramatic, ‘Purple Bells’ is an excellent choice for back-of-border plantings, mixed beds, cut flower gardens, and bouquets.
