Echium vulgare commonly follows a biennial cycle: a basal rosette precedes the upright flowering stems.
Flowers and foliage
Blue flowers are followed by nutlets and abundant self-seeding can maintain its presence. The bristly stems and leaves can irritate skin. Its dry-site character differs from moisture-loving herbaceous species in a mixed seed range.
