Description
Bee heaven! Echium, also known as “Viper's Bugloss”, is one of the best plants you can grow to attract bees, especially native bumblebees, to your garden. The intense blue blooms have an extraordinary feature: the nectar inside the flower is protected from vaporization when it is hot, and from being flushed away by rain or watering. And the nectar is produced all day, unlike most plants which produce nectar only briefly during the day. Viper’s bugloss blooms all summer long until frost, providing a stable source of nectar for overwintering bees. Drought tolerant plants require little care.
