Product Details
The brilliant blue flowers of Anchusa azurea ‘Dropmore’ appear all summer on 3–5′ spikes. Their lance-shaped leaves grow 12–18″ long and are covered with coarse hairs. Plant amongst Shrub Roses for a stunning combination, or plant in groups for masses of intense blue blooms.
These charming bloomers belong to the Forget-Me-Not family. They like a deep, well-drained soil, not too heavy, and they do best in full sun.

Shipping
HOW PLANTS ARE SHIPPED
The size of the plants we ship has been selected to reduce the shock of transplanting. For some, this means a large, bareroot crown. Others cannot travel bareroot or transplant best if grown in containers. We ship these perennials and annuals in 1 pint pots, except as noted. We must point out that many perennials will not bloom the first year after planting, but will the following year, amply rewarding your patience. We ship bulbs as dormant, bare bulbs, sometimes with some wood shavings or moss. Shrubs, Roses, vines, and other woody plants may be shipped bareroot or in pots. The size of the pot is noted in the quick facts for each item.
WHEN WE SHIP
We ship our bulbs and plants at the right time for planting in your area, except as noted, with orders dispatched on a first-come, first-served basis by climate zone. We also ship a wide range of containers and planters, tools, supplies, fertilizers, garden wear, garden decor items, as well as indoor decorations like wreaths and dried bouquets when available. Estimated dates for shipping are indicated in the green Shipping Details box for each item. Please supply a street address for delivery. Kindly contact us with two weeks notice, if you'll be away at the expected time of delivery.

These charming bloomers from the Old World belong to the Forget-Me-Not family and are grown widely for their showy flowers, which start in early summer and continue for a month or better.
Grow in full sun in deep, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil. Plants can be slow to send up new shoots in spring.
