- '''Pride of Madeira''' (''Echium candicans'' or ''Echium fastuosum'') is a rapidly growing tropical or tender perennial/biennial shrub from the borage family (boraginaceae) that grows up to eight feet in full sun; another species found on ["campus"] is '''Tower of Jewels''' (''Echium wildpretii''). These somewhat tender natives of Madeira and the Canary Islands can only survive ["weather" temperatures ]down to 30° Fahrenheit, need summer days with high heat and do well in poor, dry soils sounds like a perfect ["Davis"] pairing! In their natural habitat they grow on windswept limestone outcrops. The striking blooms of these drought- and deer-tolerant evergreen make it attractive to ["Honeybees" bees], ["butterflies & moths" butterflies] and/or ["birds and bird watching" birds]. Either of these Echiums propagate from cuttings or seed and make a bold addition to any xeric landscape.	+ '''Pride of Madeira''' (''Echium candicans'' or ''Echium fastuosum'') is a rapidly growing tropical or tender perennial/biennial shrub from the borage family (boraginaceae) that grows up to eight feet in full sun; another species found on ["campus"] is '''Tower of Jewels''' (''Echium wildpretii'').
