Most Echiums don’t flower well here at Lambley because of our regular heavy frosts. We got this frost hardy form of Echium virescens three decades or more ago and our original plant is still alive and flowering well. It makes a large shrub to near 2 metres by 2 metres. The narrow bristly leaves are greyish. During early to mid-spring it produces metre long spikes of lilac pink flowers. Sun loving and drought tolerant. This stunning plant is one of the few really frost hardy Echiums. It will be as happy growing in coastal gardens as it is in inland areas.
