Alkanet - good in the wild but an invasive weed in a garden.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

It's a weed, green alkanet. Has deep roots, hard to dig up and it spreads a lot, but is very pretty in a wild place.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

Was that in a garden or in the wild? I suggest Lungwort,
Pulmonaria officinalis
.

Maybe I should have said wild flower!

Alkanet, not Pulmonaria.

@punkdoc
Thanks for correcting me. Would you say that is
Pentaglottis sempervirens
aka
Anchusa sempervirens
? I've never seen them where I live. Same family as Pulmonaria, by the way (
Boraginaceae
).

Looks like P.sempervirens to me, but I could be wrong.

That's what Obelixx and I said, just you've said it in Latin!
