COMMENTS:
It produces some of the most vivid, clearest of
blue flowers. Unfortunately, the coarse, large
foliage can often hide the bloom heads. Removal of
the uppermost foliage can solve this problem.
Accepts average soil. Cut back to 6-inches after
first bloom to promote a bushier plant and
encourage further blooming. Lower growing cultivars
are more attractive.
Anchusa Blue Angel, is a more compact
species growing to 15".
