It is about 18" tall, has leaves very similar to those of a foxglove and at first sight it could easily be mistaken for a foxglove. Its flowers are almost identical to those of a Lithodora 'Heavenly Blue'. http://tinyurl.com/5ganxe It has woody roots which are fairly deep and clump forming and is very invasive, particularly by self seeding. Thanks, Emrys Davies. All I'm getting is a pic of Lithodora Heavenly Blue, Emrys. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon (new website online but not completed - shop to come and some mild tweaking to do!) That is all I intended you to receive with that link so that you have some idea of what the flowers of the mystery plant are like. Which link? There were several available pics there so I wonder how anyone is to know which to go to? The link opened in an enlarged form and the photo. Lithodora Heavingly Blue, which I had mentioned, was the centre piece and it has the words Lithodora Heavingly Blue printed immediately beneath the photo. Sorry about the confusion. Ah, well I'd go with the original suggestion of borage though those flowers are more starry and usually have a white 'eye'. www.westcountryorganicherbs.co.uk/ herb%20uses.htm Could that be it? It certainly does spread itself about with abandon and the flowers are used in Pimm's. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon (new website online but not completed - shop to come and some mild tweaking to do!) |
