ECHIUM p. ‘Pink Fountain’

<h2>ECHIUM p. 'Pink Fountain'</h2><p>Echium p. Pink Fountain is a striking selection noted for its tall, architectural spires of soft pink flowers in early summer, rising above a bold rosette of rough green leaves. Best grown in full sun and very well-drained, light soil, it suits mild, coastal, and sheltered gardens in Ireland. A fast-growing biennial/monocarpic plant, it forms a foliage rosette before sending up its flowering tower, then dies after setting seedallow seedlings to establish if you wish it to naturalise. Protect rosettes from frost and winter wet with fleece in colder areas, and provide a sheltered spot away from strong winds for the flowering stem.</p><p><strong> To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height.
