Blue shrimp plants
 
I am south of New Orleans. Is that zone 9 or 10? I bought some blue shrimp
plant seeds. I haven't had a chance to plant them and get them going yet.
Is it too late? I am not necessarily concerned about them blooming this
year, but just getting established. Should I just hang on to the seeds and
wait until next spring?

I would think you would have pleanty of time to get them up and running.
Where did you get your seeds? I bought some off of ebay and NOTHING came up.

the plant listed is:
Cerinthe major purpurescens

I have no knowledge of the plant or the company, just remembered

Is this it?

If you steam them, do they turn red?

"If you steam them, do they turn red?"

First, you make a roux.

I'll look at my pack and see how it is labeled...
