Echium Plantagineum

Beschreibung

Flowers opening a bright pink, slowly becoming more blue with age, stud the hairy, bristly stems, which arise from a compact overwintering rosette in earliest spring.This plant makes a tidy but sprawling mound that is best grown on a dry bank, or in sand, where it will produce a maximum amount of flowers. It is native to western and southern Europe and is quite rare in the UK.
