same has happened with me tulips, so they have al got blue pellets scattered a round them
To be honest it did need re-potting as the roots had started to wrap around the soil in the shape of the pot shape.

This is one from last year

[sanatic1234]

that's a fine specimen derrick, which echium is that?

[derrick]

It Pinianna or someting San i had lots the year before this is the only one standing it had a split in stem .If you plant them you need space as the leaves are wide 3 feet plus .And lots of slug pellets as slugs love them .If you replant be careful with the roots .

[sanatic1234]

thanks for the advice derrick , i do have a place for it sorted but its in part shade in early morning and full sun afternoon do you think this will be ok?

[derrick]

Yeh sounds ok they do like water it will take of soon.

[sanatic1234]

yeah i realised how much these like water, i was shocked

[becky]

i potted all mine up for the winter , and popped them in the poly tunnel, all have gone brown, but i will check the roots to see if there is any sign of life if not il have to grow again

Just a quick update on my echium

This has really took off since give it a dose of fish,blood,bone. If anyone hasn't tried this then IMO try it, mine loves it and the foilage look very lush
