Echium pininana (Giant Tree Echium)
Giant Tree Echium, Pine Echium, Giant Vipers-Bugloss, Tower of Jewels
Echium pininana, commonly known as the Giant Tree Echium, is an herbaceous perennial that typically lives for 2 or 3 years. In the first year, it produces soft, green foliage, which is followed in the second year by a dense, 4 m long flower spike. The flower spike, produced in spring through summer, is an impressive mass of leaves and small blue flowers. Excluding the flower spike, it typically grows to 1.5 m tall and the same wide, growing best on a well-drained, sheltered site in full sun. It is a hardy plant and will cope with frost, dry periods, and coastal environments. This is an excellent plant for seaside gardens, mixed plantings, planting on a bank, or using as a backdrop for smaller plants. This is a bold and beautiful plant.
