Echium simplex
Echium simplex
1m ø, makes a perfectly white inflorescence of some 2 (4)m in height ! Native of Tenerife, where its very rare, occurring in only few sites in the Anaga Mountain Range in the north-eastern parts of this island. It is an excellent container plant with large, smoothly pubescent leaves in dense and broad rosette on a short stem. Keep at a minimum of some 10°C in winter in a sunny spot and careful watering. Will flower within some 3 years and dies down afterwards, however it can be easily raised from seeds which are set in abundance. A spectacular and very easy going, yet rare species!
