Planting and growing information
Plant Anchusa Loddon Royalist in full sun locations with well-drained, fertile soil. This hardy perennial thrives in zones 3-8, making it suitable for most North American landscapes. For best results, space plants 12-18 inches apart to allow proper air circulation. After the first flowering flush, cut back by one-third to encourage a second bloom and maintain a bushy habit. Regular watering is essential, especially during establishment and dry periods, but avoid waterlogged conditions which can cause root issues.
