| It's growing in an Australia garden, but I've gotten hints from the web that it might also be commonly grown in the UK:

Any ideas? |

| Yes, it is grown here, it was very fashionable about 5 years ago. D*amned if I can remember the name, though. Age!! Looks great when at its peak but goes to seed rather rapidly. Easy enough to grow from seed. |

| Yup. Cerinthe major 'Purpurascens'. Needs a very well-drained soil, otherwise it's disappointing and floppy, in my experience! Very easy from seed. |
