How to Plant ANCHUSA Seeds
Sow Anchusa seeds in cell packs or flats, press into soil and barely cover. Light aids germination. Kept at 70° F., germination is in 21-28 days. Can direct sow into prepared seed beds, in groups of 3-4 seeds, spaced 16-24 inches apart. Thin to strongest plant. See Starting Your Seeds for more information.
Comments: Full sun. Anchusa plants tolerate heat, poor soil, and drought. Does not like high humidity. Grow Anchusa lean; give moderate water and little fertilizer. Plants will be more compact and heavier blooming. After flowering, cut Anchusa plants back to 4-6 inches tall. This promotes full, repeat bloom in September. Anchusa flowers attract bees and butterflies; are favorites of Swallowtails. Plants are rabbit and deer resistant.
