Remember this? Flowers you're growing or intend to grow with names beginning with E.
I'll start with Echinacea - I have the pink one but would like more.
Erysimum/wallflower. have some of these but you can never have too many wallflowers.
Want to grow Echium vulgare - the wildflower Vipers Bugloss as its a good bee plant.
I like Echinacea . Never grown them. But I nearly added them to my shopping basket this morning
.
Love vipers bugloss. Not grown it since I’ve been living up here. Must remedy that.
I can’t think of any other E’s.
Eryngium (sea holly). The stems and flowers go a beautiful metallic blue. Bees love it too.
Evening primrose.
Everlasting flowers I know the actual flower name doesn't begin with E but still remember my Mum drying them off when I was young, actual name being helecrisum, or something similar, must give those a go again
Echinops- those lovely steely blue spiky balls. I prefer them to eryngium which (I think) have a horrible smell
Eranthis - winter aconite. first harbinger of spring in my garden. I also have erysimum, echinacea, and erythronium (dog tooth violet)

Interesting! I didn't notice any smell from the sea holly, will have to give it a good sniff next year.
Well the one I’ve got smells like a dead mouse.
Echolttzia California......Californian poppies.
These self seed in my garden and bring a welcoming bit of sunshine to my borders (and paths for that matter)
Erigeron Karvinskianus - fleabane, super easy from seed and will self seed everywhere!
Self seeds in cracks and crevices and any little spot that nothing else will thrive.
I'm rubbish at watering pots - I planted some in two huge pots a couple of years ago. They look fab and they don't need watering. Beautiful all summer. They were still gently flowering last month.
