Very nice. I love Echiums. Are these a dwarf bedding kind?
12 Jul, 2017
Yes it is.......we have a large variety, but I doubt it will have any flowers this year....

Next year I hope,for your Echiums to flower. I have tried to grow them several times but something always finished them off, either snow or millipedes eating the roots. I 've given up on them now. They love to be beside the sea. The ones on the Scilly Isles were fab.

I just hope we have a mild winter FF..

Wow! That's very nice. I've never heard of that one before. Echium candicans grows everywhere here.

Wish they did here Delonix....

E. candicans grows there, right? I know it's a very tough, hardy plant.
21 Jul, 2017
Yes it will in fairly sheltered gardens.......

I thought so. It's such a hardy shrub.
It blooms pretty well in March here in San Diego, CA.
