ANCHUSA - Alkanet 
Stately and handsome herbaceous perennials belonging to the Forget-

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.
