Anchusa, ‘Blue Angel’ – Bugloss

Description

Wild bugloss is one of those “sleeper” perennials that never seems to have gained popularity by modern gardeners. I suspect this is due to a misunderstanding on the part of gardeners on just how to grow this plant, and its resulting in a less-than-lovely garden performance. Do not plant it in amended soil but instead in drier soil because it craves soil poverty. Cut it back right after its first blooming as well.
