cerinthe major purpurescens - self-seeding?
Had these in a bed last year and assumed they would self-seed. By June
nothing had happened, so I moved other things into the gaps - and now
the bed is full of cerinthe seedlings, all but one only still at the
two-leaf stage. Surely at this stage they are unlikely to mature - but
then what is the purpose of self-seeding? Or is this a very odd year
indeed? (I have just mown the hay that used to be the lawn...)
