    I was wondering if anyone can identify this plant, It arrived all on it's own 2 year ago in my veg patch, been an old softy I let it have it's own corner of the patch it dies down in autume but comes back the following spring.
    I was told it was called honeywort?

      I have quite a lot of cerinthe in the garden. It self seeds quite regularly and is certainly a "different" flower to grow. You could also keep and sow the seeds in pots if you want to give some to friends/neighbours.

        Cerinthe Major Purpurascens.
        not a brilliant specimen though; they get a bit straggly if dry. they really like a shady spot. BBC - Gardening - Plants - Plant Finder - Cerinthe major 'Purpurascens'

          If at first you don't succeed, open a bottle of wine.

            We have a couple in the village Britain in Bloom flower beds. They are rather attractive with the dark flower and glaucous foliage and have been a real talking point. Treasure it!

              Agree with the others - also, very easy to gather the seed (it's big) and sow next year exactly where you want it.
