Description

Echium fastuosum – Pride of Madeira

Echium fastuosum, commonly known as Pride of Madeira, is a striking evergreen shrub native to the Canary Islands. It forms a large, rounded mound of silvery-green foliage, topped in spring and early summer with towering spikes of vivid blue to purple flowers that are loved by bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Dramatic, drought-tolerant, and low-maintenance, it’s an excellent focal point in coastal and Mediterranean-style gardens.
