NO: Ormehode, ormehovudSE: Blåeld, snokörtDK: SlangehovedFI: Neidonkieli, PiennarneidonkieliIS: Nöðrugin DE: Gewöhnlicher Natternkopf EN: Viper's-bugloss A tall annual to biannual species native to Eurpe and adjacent regions of Asia, E. vulgare is a characteristic species on dry often calcarous soils with a sparse vegatation cover. It flowers in late June or early July can continue over the summer into early September. The sprays of blue flowers are borne in long inflorescences. The flowers are eagerly visited by pollinators such as bees and bumblebees. A field of flowering E. vulgare is a pretty view and the pollinators flitter happily from one inflorescence to the next.
