ANCHUSA .- Alkanet 
Stately and handsome herbaceous perennials belonging to the Forget- 
me-not order. It is difficult to imagine a more beautiful plant than a 
well-grown specimen of a Dropmore when in flower. The leaves are 
hairy and silvery green and the brilliant blue flowers are borne in 
racemes on branching stems. 
Culture. Anchusas require a deep, well-drained soil, not too damp or 
heavy, and a sunny position. They are best grown singly, so that they 
can display their natural contour to good advantage. Plant in fall or 
early spring, 18 inches apart, except Myosotidiflora, which should be 
planted in groups of three or more, about 8 inches apart.
