Common bugloss is a perennial herb that can flower its first year but typically starts out as a basal rosette of leaves. It has a deep taproot and can reach 1 to 2 feet tall. The entire plant is covered in coarse hairs.

Common bugloss has basal and alternate stem leaves. Lower leaves are narrow, oblong, and slightly pointed. Its leaves decrease in size going up the stem and upper leaves are thin and sessile (no petiole).

It's not entirely clear how viper's bugloss got its name, but it could have something to do with its spotted stem, which is said to resemble a snake's markings, or from the shape of its flowers, which look like a bit like a snake's head. 'Bugloss' means 'ox's tongue' in Greek, and refers to its long, tongue-shaped leaves.

Viper's bugloss is a biennial plant, so has a large taproot. It's therefore best to grow from seed sown where you want it to grow and covered in a thin layer of soil, as the taproot can be damaged when transplanting. You can get away with planting out young plants, however, ideally in their first year. 'Blue Bedder' can be planted out anytime.

Sow viper's bugloss seed in spring or late summer, ideally direct where it is to flower. Prepare the soil by removing weeds and raking level. Sow thinly in shallow drills 30cm apart, or scatter over a finite area. Water the soil regularly until the seedlings have established. Seedlings will appear after six to eight weeks. Thin seedlings to around 40cm apart so they have space to grow.

Viper's bugloss is not invasive but it can self-seed readily in sunny, well-drained gardens. If too many viper's bugloss seedlings are turning up in your garden, simply cut the flower spikes back so they don't develop seeds.

BEWARE. Echium vulgare is unfairly maligned in dysfunctional pastoral cultures. In Australia & New Zealand pastoral interests pay nescient researchers to vilify pastoral weeds many are bee floras. Among the ecologically literate and sustainable farming communities Echium vulgare is also known as Salvation Jane In Australia and New Zealand vipers bugloss is also renowned as a resurrection flora it heals and repairs pastoral desertification. But ANZ ecocolonists are first and foremost pastoralists they blame nature, pioneering plants, weeds, etc for the calamitous problems they cause by grazing hard hoof animals in rangeland watersheds. see UNESCO EOLSS Habitat and Riparian Management in Rangeland Ecosystems Tane 2009

Common bugloss is a perennial in the Boraginaceae family, the same plant family as houndstongue (Cynoglossum offinale) and blueweed (Echium vulgare). It is native to Europe and western Asia. Common bugloss is a noxious weed in Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia; in Montana Lincoln and Ravalli counties include common bugloss on their county noxious weed lists. The first record of common bugloss in Montana was in Gallatin County in 1994. Since then it has been reported in Flathead, Lake, Missoula, Ravalli, and Stillwater counties with the highest number of occurrences in Ravalli County (information obtained through Montana Natural Heritage Program).

Common bugloss is not common in Montana, and therefore prevention is the top management priority. Learn to identify common bugloss so if present, it can be detected early. Because common bugloss is tap-rooted, plants are easily killed by hand pulling or digging/severing the root below the root crown with a shovel or spade. Mowing at the time of flowering (but before seed production) may keep plants from producing seed, but mowing will not kill plants. Herbicides containing the active ingredient 2,4-D, chlorsulfuron, or metsulfuron are effective on common bugloss and should be applied when common bugloss is in the rosette to early-flowering growth stage. Regardless of the control method, controlling common bugloss prior to seed production is important because it reproduces through seed.

Common viper's-bugloss is a Eurasian species that was introduced to North America and to much of the rest of the world. It is considered a noxious weed in some areas. It has attractive flowers, but the stems are covered with sharp spines that become lodged in the skin like cactus spines.

So, my second planting of bugloss has produced the promised large, heart-shaped, dark green leaves, and the tiny blue flowers that look a lot like forget-me-nots (another one of my favorite spring flowers) that balance themselves on slender, 18-inch stems. The flowers appeared in the spring, but the leaves provided an attractive ground cover all through the summer.

Even with our long dry summer months, the bugloss continued to show off its leafy beauty well into the fall. After enjoying my first spring with bugloss flowers, I was intrigued to discover this plant was also known as false forget-me-nots.

A good shade plant, bugloss also does well in partly sunny areas, but too much sun will wilt and burn the leaves. It tolerates drought and just about any type of soil, but it prefers a consistently moist, organically rich soil.

The viper\u2019s bugloss is a tall plant with pink buds that turn to a vivid shade of violet-blue. It has rough leaves and an upright, spotted stem that its flowers grow from vertically. The flowers have blue pollen and red stamens, contributing to the plant\u2019s striking and colorful appearance.

Yes, the viper\u2019s bugloss is considered toxic to cows and horses, as it causes an excess amount of pyrrolizidine alkaloids to develop in the liver. It may also cause an upset stomach in humans and irritate the skin on contact.

The bugloss plant grows upright and 30-80 cm tall. Immature stems are coiled, like a fern fiddlehead, and gradually straighten out as each flower opens. Leaves are long, pointed, and have a fuzzy texture. Mature flowers are small and a bright purple blue colour with white centres. Fruits are nut-like and occur in groups of four. 041b061a72
