When in bloom, it is very showy; when not in bloom, the brown heads should be chopped off. The one thing I can say to watch out for is that it tends to spread very easily and, unless you stay on top of it, the seedlings will grow where ever they land.
"So EASY & INCREDIBLY long blooming, this incredibly rare hybrid of Echium wildprettii & E. pininana grows into an impressive tower 15’ tall & 20” across with a bulbous base easily 3’ across above a stunning group of large, velvety looking silver-green rosettes. “Mr.Happy” thrilled us with an overall mass of pink bloom & long, sparkling stamens from MAY to SEPTEMBER! WOW! In summer he spawned new & gorgeous rosettes, so we know he’ll bloom again next year, too – unlike Echium wildprettii “Tower of Jewels”, which dies after blooming. Just give this fascinating focal point full sun & well drained soil. He’s DROUGHT TOLERANT, DEER PROOF, & SNAIL PROOF too! Sure to inspire lots of admiration & chuckles. Heehee! We think that every front yard needs one – don’t you??"
