Own a living sculpture with this Tower of Jewels starter plant (Echium wildpretii) - a breathtaking biennial that rockets to 10 ft tall in its second year, blanketed in salmon-red blooms! Though native to the Canary Islands (Zones 9-10 ideal), we’ve cracked the code for Southeast US growers: keep in small pots year 1 to prevent root rot, then transplant in fall for spectacular summer blooms. Thrives in full sun with gritty cactus soil, this drought-tolerant marvel attracts pollinators and makes a jaw-dropping focal point. Limited availability!
