Medium to tall, bristly perennial; stems erect or ascending, branched. Basal leaves oval to oblong, pointed, narrowed into a long stalk; stem leaves unstalked. Flowers bright blue with a white scaly throat, 8-10mm, in small, long-stalked cymes. Nutlets netted. Habitat: Damp to shady places, woodland margins, hedgebanks and cultivated land, often close to buildings, at low attitudes. Flowering Season: April-July. Distribution: SW Europe. Locally naturalized in much of Britain, Belgium and Holland. I found this nice Blue Flower in a Hedge in the Town of Almere (The Netherlands) in a Park setting.
