Heliophila coronopifolia Seeds - Indigenous South African Annual Seeds For Sale in South Africa

This dainty, blue annual is an absolute delight when it comes into flower. Upright and graceful, with small cups of bright blue flowers, the plants appear to dance in a light breeze. The showy sunflax belongs to the mustard family (Brassicaceae), as do cauliflowers and broccoli. In this family the plants often taste and smell of mustard and sulphur. If you crush a sunflax, it smells like a cauliflower. Under good conditions, Heliophila coronopifolia grows bushy and about 60 cm tall. The smooth stems and soft, slender leaves are bright green. The blue flowers are arranged in little spikes at the top of the stems.
