Echium candicans, also known as E. fastuosum, is a striking flowering plant that is native to the island of Madeira in the Atlantic Ocean. Commonly known as 'Pride of Madeira', this plant is a member of the Boraginaceae family and is highly valued for its showy spikes of blue-purple flowers that bloom in the spring and summer months.

The 'Pride of Madeira' can grow up to 6-8 feet tall and 6-8 feet wide, forming a rounded shrub that is covered in lush, silver-green foliage. The leaves are large and lance-shaped, measuring up to 10 inches in length and covered in fine hairs that give them a soft texture.

In the spring and summer months, the 'Pride of Madeira' produces tall spikes of blue-purple flowers that can reach up to 2 feet in length. The flowers are highly attractive to bees and butterflies, making this plant an excellent choice for pollinator gardens. After blooming, the spent flower spikes can be removed to promote further growth and encourage additional blooms.

This plant is highly drought-tolerant and prefers full sun and well-draining soil. It is hardy in USDA zones 9-11, making it a great choice for gardens and landscapes in warmer climates.

Overall, Echium candicans 'Pride of Madeira' is a stunning and low-maintenance plant that adds a striking burst of color to any garden or landscape. Its tall spikes of blue-purple flowers and silver-green foliage make it a standout feature, and its hardy nature ensures it will thrive in a variety of conditions.
