Echium blue bedder.....

Its a gorgeous blue ,will you save the seed and grow from them ?

Its that lovely blue that many of us gardeners adore!

Dainty flower gorgeous blue.

Amy OH has planned to save it.....Karen it certainly is, 3p I wish I had bought another two now!!......silly me!

You ll know better next time to buy in twos ☺

Or possibly three!! as they were only a pound lol!!

They say in nature its always odd numbers so you could go to 5 lol. A barhain then.

I must remember to tell OH, because he carries the money!!

Very nice. I love Echiums. Are these a dwarf bedding kind?

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.

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.

Here's a pic:

Thanks Delonix.......

Thank you. :>))

I sowed a few seed it situ and they've been a bit of a delight. Hopefully they will self seed now.

I hope so for both our sake......
