Dropmore Anchusa Seeds
Start Dropmore Anchusa seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before your last frost date. Gently press seeds into the soil and barely cover, keeping the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 21-28 days.
After the risk of frost has passed, transplant seedlings to a sunny outdoor location, spacing plants 18-24 inches (45-60 cm) apart. This spacing allows Dropmore Anchusa to reach its full potential, providing a beautiful display of blue flowers in your garden.
