Anchusa caespitosa

One of those legendary plants that you always see in pictures but seldom see offered for sale, indeed we had searched for several years in vain until Jim Briggs showed up a couple years ago with a plant (thanks to Carl Gehenio for keeping it in cultivation). This rare little Borage forms tufts of bristly grayish green linear leaves, native to Crete it is generally hardy but rather wet sensitive, however if well grown it will reward you by covering itself with insanely blue Eritrichium flowers. It has nearly disappeared from cultivation in recent years and we will do our best to see that our limited stock goes first and foremost to gardeners with the propagation skills needed to maintain it in cultivation. It must be frequently rooted from cuttings or you will lose it to complacency Let us know if you think you are worthy and will promise to propagate it..____ZONE 5
