Weasel snout (Lagotis glauca)

Weasel snout

Weasel snout is a hardy perennial herb that thrives in alpine and subalpine regions. It's distinguished by its rosettes of glaucous leaves and spikes of hooded, pale blue flowers. While the leaves are broad, toothed, and densely woolly underneath, they contrast with the slender flower spikes that bloom in early summer. Adapted to cold, rocky terrains, weasel snout is adept at surviving harsh conditions with minimal soil.
