Lunaria annua 'Corfu Blue'
- Product number: 596166
- Origin: Europe
- Latin: Lunaria annua
A blue Honesty! This rare and hard-to-find variety, originating from Corfu, not only has the unusual (lilac) blue colour but also a strikingly bushy and branched growth habit, making it look like a shrub! The plants bloom for a long time and, like common Honesty, form the characteristic flat fruits after flowering. Height approximately 80-120 cm. Bumblebees and bees enjoy it too! If common Honesty plants are nearby, the blue colour in the sown offspring will quickly lose its beautiful blue colour.
