Echium plantagineum
Purple viper's bugloss
Purple viper's bugloss (Echium plantagineum) is native to parts of Europe, Asia, and Africa, but it has also been naturalized in Australia and the Americas, where it is sometimes considered a noxious weed. The plant produces vibrant bluish-purple flowers that are an important early nectar source for bees; however, purple viper's bugloss is highly poisonous to grazing livestock, particularly horses.
Echium wildpretii
Tower of jewels
Endemic to the Canary Islands, the tower of jewels is a striking biennial plant that produces tall flower stalks in the second year of growth. Once the plant sets flowers, it dies. The botanical name Echium wildpretii comes from the name of the 19th-century Swiss botanist Hermann Josef Wildpret.
Echium tuberculatum
Echium tuberculatum
Echium tuberculatum (viperina) is a flowering plant from Portugal. This plant is a hardy garden perennial and it forms a sprawling mass of red flowers during the whole of the summer.It will self-seed readily around.
Echium pininana
Giant viper's-bugloss
Giant viper's-bugloss (Echium pininana) is a perennial with countless sky blue or lavender flowers. This low-maintenance, drought-tolerant shrub's visual appeal has a resemblance to missiles preparing to shoot, which adds an aesthetically pleasing impact to the landscape.
Echium candicans
Pride of madeira
Pride of madeira, also known as Echium candicans, is a flowering perennial herbaceous shrub native to the island of Madeira. Pride of madeira is considered an invasive species in California, New Zealand, and Australia. It is a popular ornamental plant in many places around the world for its drought tolerance and ability to attract bees.
Echium vulgare
Viper's bugloss
Viper's bugloss (Echium vulgare) is a member of the borage family and attracts honeybees. Once established, this pretty blue wildflower is easy to grow. However, it can become invasive. This species has a deep taproot which makes it difficult to transplant and difficult to eradicate.
Echium italicum
Pale bugloss
Pale bugloss in its flowering state can be seen in the Mediterranean when all other wildflowers have mostly died back. Pale bugloss blooms from spring to summer. Another common name Italian viper's bugloss refers to the shape of the fruit which resembles a snake's head.
