My Cerinthe major purpurescens usually bloom in the Spring and perhaps into the early summer. It's supposed to be tender but I bought one plant about ten years ago and each year (in different parts of the garden) quite a number of plants come up and bloom. Here's one I've just found this morning:  Do others have plants blooming at unusual times? |

That's not natural Michael - prune it immediately.

That's not natural Michael - prune it immediately. No. I shall pot it up and put it in the greenhouse in the hope that it will survive till next Spring. Plants that I brought inside last winter did survive but, more surprisingly, some that I left in the garden coped without being taken in to the house. I don't heat my greenhouse anymore so it does get almost as cold as it does outside. However, here in delightful Bracknell the temperature very seldom falls more than a few degrees below freezing on a few nights during the winter - and it never stays below freezing during the day. |

Especially as you live so near to me! |

Who says I was talking about the plant? |
