Bugloss

Echium amoenum 'Red Feathers' is a compact, short-lived perennial that forms a tidy mound of hairy, dark green, lance-shaped leaves. This striking plant is celebrated for its upright, feathery spikes of russet-red flowers that bloom from late spring through summer, especially when deadheaded. It is exceptionally drought-tolerant and thrives in well-drained soil under full sun or light shade. Ideal for rock gardens, water-wise borders, or containers, it is a magnet for bees and hummingbirds.
