Good plant #163 - Anchusa Azurea 'Loddon Royalist'

This hardy herbaceous perennial flowers in late spring/ early summer, when many plants have finished flowering and others are yet to start.

If you chop it back after flowering, you sometimes get a second flush of flowers late in the season.

It will cope with almost any soil and sunlight.

You can take young basal or root cuttings in spring to propagate.
