Italian Viper's Bugloss


The dense, pyramidal "Christmas tree" shape and the unique fuzzy texture of this native herb set it apart from other spring vegetation. Small white flowers appear as Viperina matures at a height of 0.5 to 1 m.

Scientific name: Echium italicum
Italian common name: Viperina bianca
English common name: Italian Viper's Bugloss
