Re: echium pininana protection

this is the 2nd year in the ground, flower next year maybe. if i am lucky

i come up with this as to protect it, some bamboo sticks and thick polythene bag material stuffed with some straw under the leaves and pinned down with rocks. hopefully do the trick and let a bit of light in. :?:
