Echium Pininana "Pink Fountain" - affectionately known as "the Trifid" by my Wife.

Grown from a packet of seed bought from Trebah Gardens while on holiday in Cornwall. I originally had 6 but had to cull the crop as they were taking over the garden. Classed as a biennial, it has taken 3 years to grow to 14 feet, and it's still growing!
