Hi there, I’m wondering if anyone can tell me where I could buy an Echium Candicans plant or seeds. I have been searching for 2 years, obviously in all the wrong places, and I’m still unable to locate any of the plant varieties. I live in Sandgate in Brisbane. Thankyou for your help.
Louise
Answer: Hi Louise, Try Googling “Buy Echium candicans” i did and found quite a few suppliers. This plant, known as the ‘Pride of Madiera’ usually flowers a deep China blue-purple, but both pink and white varieties are around. Don
