This is for a mixture of blue,pink and white seeds about 10 fresh seeds! Seeds thats come from Uk grown plants which have been hardend over many years to survive harsher winters!
A good mixture of all three of the colour variations, blue,
pink and white, of Echium pininana. Plant young plants out as soon as
possible in the season to allow plants to be large enough to survive the
winter in the open ground. Otherwise, overwinter plants in pots in a
frost-free place. To identify each type. Very pale stems have white
flowers. Darker stems have blue flowers, Thinner leaf forms are Pink
Fountain with pink flowers. These grow fast up to 4 ft in first year followed by a huge growth rate of up to 16ft!! Thousands of flowers cover the plant that will last months on end supplying lots and lots of food for Bees! It truly is a beautiful plant! Check out our other varietys of echium including echium madeira which lasts for many many years and forms like a shrub! and still grows up to 3m!
Sowing advice: Seeds are best sown in spring or before mid
summer to enable a full season of growth and are best sown where
actually needed, preferably in a well-drained and sheltered spot.
Otherwise, sow seeds, covering very thinly, in early spring onto a good
soil-based compost in a frost-free place with good light. Seedlings
appear in 4 to 6 weeks. Pot on into a gritty compost containing very
little organic material before planting out as small plants in a
well-drained, sheltered spot or a large container that may be taken in
during the winter. Plants usually flower 24 months after sowing and
often vary in habit and flower colour.
