Purple viper's bugloss flowers from April to July with deep blue to purple flowers and comes from the Mediterranean region. It was introduced to Australia, where, as Salvation Jane, it is the basis of a significant honey harvest. Like its native relative, it provides very plentiful nectar and flowers continuously for several months.
