There are quite a few echiums...I do have seeds for the viper's bugloss that were given to me and I've just sown. I've grown the Pride of Madeira / e. fastuosum or candicans and e. pininana and e. wildpretii, but there are others that I've not tried yet. There's another e. pininana just down the road from me here that's about that same size and I've been thinking I need to go over there and poke around for seedlings beneath it...they usually throw off a lot of volunteers. I also brought an e. simplex with me up here in the move that should flower this year.
I don't see how anyone could see that plant and not want to grow it...lol..
