ANCHUSA—Alkanet 
Hardy Perennial 
Anchusas grow readily in ordinary soil in sunny situations but 
quickly respond to good feeding. Their large, hairy leaves and tall 
spikes of beautiful blue flowers make a fine background in borders. 
Physostegia is very effective planted in front of them, as the latter takes 
their place when through flowering. 
A. italica—“Dropmore Variety”—A beautiful variety of 
the Italian Alkanet with numerous flowers of deepest 
gentian blue. In good soil will reach a height of six to 
seven feet with numerous side branches, making a most

with above except color.35 3.50

the rockery or front of the border. Quantities of bright

they will soon dwindle and die.
