YouGarden Echium Candicans Pride of Madeira Plant in Pot 5L

Discover the captivating YouGarden Echium Candicans Pride of Madeira Plant in Pot 5L, a dramatic garden plant closely related to borage. This biennial shrub grows up to 1m tall in its first year, continuing to flourish year-round, especially in milder climates where it can produce enormous flower spikes after frost-free winters, typically blooming from July onwards. While hardy when kept dry, protect from frost and cold winds with fleece, particularly in wet conditions. Commonly found in Cornwall, Echiums thrive in very well-drained soils or large pots with sand or grit. Keep well-watered from May to August during rapid spring growth. Echiums self-seed, forming charming colonies and attracting pollinating insects. Supplied as an established plant in a 5L pot, 50-90cm tall, which grows to height and width of 150cm, ready to enrich your garden with its striking purple flower spikes from April to August. Please note, the height of the delivered plant varies with the season, and 'as supplied' images serve as an indication only.
