Viper's Bugloss (Echium vulgare) Seeds
Named after its serpentine appearance, bearing a long, speckled stem, not only bearing thin, pale thorns to watch out for, but spikes of azure flower heads and long red stamens, like a snake’s head preparing to strike. Have trust in them, though, and they’ll provide you with beautiful border blooms that are actually a favourite of bees and butterflies!
