Echium gentianoides 'Tajinaste'
Tajiniste Tower of Jewels
Description
We are thrilled to offer this extremely rare and endangered Echium from the island of La Palma in the Canary Islands! True cerulean blue flowers held in loose pyramidal spikes bloom the first year and are a sight to behold in the Spring garden! Emerging from pink buds, the cup-shaped flowers are well displayed above rough, blue-grey, linear foliage. EASY and impressive, it blooms Spring thru Fall, totally unlike any other Echium we know! Sturdy, branching, 4’ x 4’ form. Highly recommended! Drought, heat and deer resistant! Needs awesome drainage for ultimate happiness. Side dress with an 1” of compost once a year. Does best in full sun. Established plants need low water.

Water Saving Tip:
Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs.
If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
