Pontechium maculatum |
 |
|
Apparently this is the only species in the genus, which was separated from Echium not too long ago. Of European origin, with red flower spikes.
|
| | Still just low rosettes by mid-May of their second year in our Texas garden |
|
This plant used to grow in our garden, but it slipped away... About my plant portraits

Visitors to this page have left the following comments| Conrad Altmann | Jul 02, 2018 | I love this species! We see it in the hills above where we live (Cluj-Napoca, RO) every spring. I've seen once a variation where the flowers are more red-purple, it was stunning. I've got some pictures on my IG feed @botanica.ardeleneasca |
