Tips on How to Grow Blue Shrimp Plant
Soak the large seeds overnight and sow 3/4" deep outside after the last frost in your area or start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost, It will germinate in 7-21 days at 70F/21C. Watch out for damping off if you are starting them inside. Transplant to full sun and good soil for taller plants, partial shade for shorter, less floppy plants. It can be grown in pots. A half-hardy perennial that freely reseeds, in all but the warmest parts of North America it should be considered an annual. Full sun to light shade. Propagation Methods: Sow seed in spring after danger of frost has passed. Though subtly colored, Cerinthe major ‘Purpurascens’ draws comment wherever it inserts itself.

Questions & Comments

Where did you get the baby lion im guessing in your pic? I worked in a zoo years ago and got to play with cool critters.

We have a local zoo and I know the owner. I was at the vet one day and he was there with the baby and I got to play with her. She was about 25 pounds and played just like a little kitten,

Do they make good houseplants and for outside what zone are you?

Jan 12th, 2015 at 7:28:20 AM PST by

They are perennial in zones 9-10. Annual in all others, but I understand it readily self seeds, I would collect seeds from it and replant every year. I have never seen where it is a houseplant. I am in zone 6.

Ok thank you. Dont think they'd do well outside here. Zone 4 and below zerk winter temps but id try it as a house plant.

Jan 13th, 2015 at 12:24:21 PM PST by

I am a Wildlife Rehabilitator, been off for two years due to getting my knees replaced, hope to resume soon. I get to help all kinds of wildlife, it is cool.

I envy you your job anf I already have bad knees lol

Jan 14th, 2015 at 6:38:38 AM PST by

I have a wonderful ortho doctor and my knees are like they were when I was 18. It was hard getting them done and the rehab, but I would do it again in a heartbeat to be able to walk. I am a very active person and 11 months in a wheelchair before the knee replacements about killed me.

Most unusual plant. I haven't seen it before. I live in KY. Would it winter over here or would I have to replant every spring.

Jan 15th, 2015 at 10:01:47 AM PST by

You would have to collect the seeds and replant it every spring. It is only a perennial in the very warmest parts of North America, probably Florida and California. I believe it is from South America. I can't wait to plant my seeds, it is so beautiful.

Jan 15th, 2015 at 10:12:57 AM PST by

It looks like a flower that maybe humming birds would be attracted to. Beautiful plant! I wonder how it would grow in upstate NY.

Jan 15th, 2015 at 4:55:29 PM PST by

I believe it is from South America. Supposedly it grows everywhere as an annual except in really warm state. I guess that means like Florida or California. I am going to plant it to see what it does. I am in Western Maryland in the mountains.

I looked this plant up and it has wonderful reviews in a lot of states. See Dave's Garden reviews at:

bettieacks, seen you telling you are a Wildlife Rehabilitator, mabie you may know the answer to my question. How can I go about keeping the wild panther's safe in our county? Those poachers have just about killed most of them out in our area.
