Also known as honeywort, this is beloved by the bees and is always alive with buzzing workers from the honeybee hives. The best early foliage plant for late spring and early summer bouquets. Lovely nodding snakeheads in silvery-blue with purple flowers, it readily self-sows so you'll only need to buy these seeds once! They’re also very easy to collect the seed from, they start popping out when they’re ready. You may only get a few seeds per plant but that is made up by the ease of harvesting them. - Approx. 15 seeds per pack- Hardy Annual- Full Sun- Space 9-12 inches apart- 65-70 days to maturity- Height: 60-70 cm Directions: Place freshly cut stems into boiling water for 10 seconds when harvesting, before plunging into a cool bucket to rest and condition for a few long hours. They have an extraordinarily long vase life if you can avoid the wilting. So be sure to use this hot water trick and harvest at dawn if you can. N.B.
