Echium decaisnei

Native to the Canary islands, Echium decaisnei is a perennial, shrubby echium with light green leaves and white flowers with pretty pink/blue throats. Like all echiums, the blooms are adored by bees and other pollinators. It’s perfect for growing in a mixed, sunny border or as part of a patio container display.

Grow Echium decaisnei in sheltered, sunny site in well-drained soil or cactus compost. Protect from frost in winter or grow in a container, which you can move indoors in autumn. Be careful when handling, the sap can irritate the skin and the whole plant is toxic if eaten.
