Blueweed

Overview

Echium vulgare, commonly known as Blueweed, is a biennial plant reaching heights of 1-3 feet. Noted for its vibrant blue flowers, which bloom from late spring to early summer, it's a magnet for pollinators. Blueweed thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, and is drought-tolerant. Its upright, bristly stems add texture to any garden. Zones 3-8. Handle with care, as the hairs can be irritating to the skin.
