Echiums

Some monster echiums grow down here....not spoiled by frosts and a long growing season produce giants. Not for the average garden mind you!

 

Heres mine. Not an impressive specimen, it self seeded in my window basket which I have Sedums in and has been dwarfed by the conditions. Looking forward to getting some seed from it though.

 

I think you sent me some russicum seeds a few years ago, but I never had much luck in germination.

 

Ive got 2 growing in the garden this year, sown last spring and kept in the GH overwinter the planted out in April. It's romping away now, I'll get a pic later
