I don't know why this happened, I have been nursing my Echium Pininana throughout last summer and winter, and just as I was looking forward to a burst of
flowers this happened.
On closer inspection I found the top half of the stem looks like this. 
Do you think I can save it by cutting it below the rot? |

I would certainly give it a try Rich.

You've nothing to lose Rich so I'd cut it back and hope it survives.

Oh dear, and it was doing so well. Mine seem to be okay, but still haven't achieved the growth that yours did. I don't expect them to flower this year
- maybe next.

I had a look at my two today, and I'm sure they're a lot bigger. They look fine, anyway.
