Viper’s Bugloss (Echium vulgare)

Description

A brilliant blue spreading ground cover, related to the taller and stately, but tender, Pride of Madeira and Tower of Jewels. Bees and pollinators love it. Self-seeding (officially a biennial).

Echium seeds are currently becoming popular as sources of Omega 3 Fatty Acids…

Viper’s Bugloss is hardy and drought tolerant and disease free. It likes dry, gritty free-draining soil & does well in gravel gardens. Its long tap root finds water deep down when plants all around have gone crisp in drought. Likes sun or it can also deal with some shade – it can get quite tall – over 2 feet in some situations…

All of our plants and seedlings are grown organically and are timed size-wise and transplanted for optional growth and production.
