{"product_id":"anchusa-azurea-loddon-royalist-9cm-potted","title":"Anchusa azurea 'Loddon Royalist'","description":"\u003cp\u003eAnchusa azurea 'Loddon Royalist' is a tall Italian bugloss grown for its intense, true gentian-blue flowers, a colour rare among border perennials. Branching stems carry many small, forget-me-not-like flowers in early summer above rough, dark green leaves. It is an elegant plant for the middle or back of a sunny border and looks especially good with white, yellow and orange flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrow in full sun or light shade in free-draining soil, and do not plant too deeply. It is often short-lived, especially on heavy, wet soil, so good drainage helps it last. Cut stems back to about half their height after the first flush to encourage more flowers, and stake in exposed spots. Bees love the flowers. The bristly leaves and stems can irritate skin, so wear gloves when handling.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lincspplants","offers":[{"title":"9cm Potted","offer_id":54539188830555,"sku":"ANC-LODROY-9CMPOT","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0861\/1590\/9979\/files\/Anchusaazurea_LoddonRoyalist_01.jpg?v=1755785325","url":"https:\/\/www.lincsplants.com\/products\/anchusa-azurea-loddon-royalist-9cm-potted","provider":"Lincspplants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
