Echium 'Pink Fountain'
Viper's Bugloss 'Pink Fountain'
'Pink Fountain' A hybrid between E. wildpretii x E. pininana. It produces dense panicles of pink flowers borne above branches of dusty linear leaves. The rosettes of large leaves are attractive and the flower spire grows to between one to three metres tall when grown in mild areas so it is worth waiting for.
