Echium Webbii

Dense, compact spikes of numerous brilliant, violet-blue flowers, beloved by bees, open on compact spikes, which erupt in its second year. In a well-drained soil in a sunny, sheltered spot, it will improve steadily for many years, slowly thickening stems and trunk. This superb, rare, but unusually hardy plant is perfect for growing in a sunny, sheltered spot or sunny patio. In the wild it is also rare and endemic to the Canary islands and especially La Palma. Very few fertile seeds collected and the odd variant habit or colour may always appear, so we must respectfully point out that all of our new, and sometimes unique hybrid seed, by its very nature, may produce occasional freaks and oddities. Busy bees also pollinate the many plants we grow here in just a few hectares. It is therefore likely that you may get the occasional surprise variant. So If you discover something remarkable, and are happy to do so, please send us a picture for our website.
