Echium Pininana ‘Snow Tower’, 3L plants
Family Boraginaceae
Originating from Canary Islands

Forms an enormous rosette of huge, hairy leaves in it’s first year which in itself adds great architectural impact to a border. In it’s second year the gargantuan flower spike, for which it is famed, thrusts skywards up to 5m and is covered in tiny white flowers (and bees). It’s a biennial so won’t survive after flowering but it will self seed prolifically.
Our Echium Pininana ‘Snow Tower’ 3L plants will grow vigorously in well-drained soil in full sun, surviving outdoors in mild winters in southern and coastal locations. Protect with fleece in cold winters or in central and northern areas.

Mature height and spread after 2 years 5m x 1m
