Echium Pinatta.  I have 2 that look like that but are GIANTS in my garden.  Going to try and save some seeds...incase you are interested!  ;D

 Yes please Emma, that one was about 6ft tall but i just wanted a section to find its name. that was at WESTCLIFF last week.

Hi Rosebud, did your plant make any seed?  My echium russicum didn't bother with making seed, though my e italicum did really well.  Still waiting for e fastuosum and e boissieri to flower (this is their second season) and am unsure how they will fare over the winter.
