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  Wink .
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.
Builder that would like to go play in the garden.

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

Interesting! I didn't notice any smell from the sea holly, will have to give it a good sniff next year. Sick

Erigeron Karvinskianus - fleabane, super easy from seed and will self seed everywhere! Big Grin

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.
