Alkanet

Sturdy stems of electric blue summer flowers, turning blue-purple with age, held above rosettes of mid-green leaves. This large blue alkanet makes a striking and long lasting statement in a sunny border. The gorgeous deep blue flowers, highly attractive to bees, are a perfect companion for a clump of bright yellow achilleas.Position: full sunSoil: fertile, moist, well-drainedRate of growth: vigorousFlowering period: JuneFlowers: electric blueHardiness: fully hardy Garden care: Deadhead after flowering to encourage a second flush of flowers.
