True blue is a rare and treasured shade in the garden, and Anchusa azurea Feltham Pride is a remarkable example of this striking colour. Its deep ultramarine blooms almost seem to glow in the fading light of evening. From late spring through early summer, tall, dark stems adorned with vibrant blue flowers rise above clusters of coarse, hairy leaves. While this plant's vivid blooms are a highlight, Anchusa is a short-lived perennial by nature. However, with a little care, you can extend its life and encourage it to bloom again the following season. Simply trim it back after flowering to stimulate fresh growth, or let it self-seed for a new generation of plants. A drought-tolerant perennial, Anchusa thrives in well-drained soil, making it ideal for gravel or Mediterranean-style gardens. It’s also a great choice for wildlife-friendly gardens, as its flowers attract bees and other pollinators. Besides its garden beauty, Anchusa serves as an attractive cut flower, and its edible blooms can be frozen in ice cubes for a refreshing summer drink! Height: 90cm (36in). Spread: 30cm (12in). Plant size and spread will vary according to the season, so we list by pot size rather than a fixed plant size. The size of the plant upon arrival will depend on the season, and the images provided are for reference only. Anchusa azurea ‘Feltham Pride’ is a drought tolerant perennial with brilliant ultramine flowers on tall, dark, branching stems from late spring to early summer. Grow Anchusa in rich fertile, well drained soil. Choose a position in sun or semi shade.

Live Plants

Dobies strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

Non Standard Deliveries

Unfortunately like many companies in our industry we are currently only able to supply orders to UK based customers, excluding those in Northern Ireland. We are committed to finding a way that we can resume or normal services again as soon as possible. Please accept our apologies for any inconvience caused.

We reserve the right to contact you and advise an additional charge where necessary and are happy to quote for carriage of specific products to more remote areas. Some items may not be available to all areas.

We reserve the right to revise any carriage charges in the event of carrier price increase or other unforeseen circumstances. We will always advise of the carriage charge before payment is taken.

All Dobies products should reach you in perfect condition, just as they left us. If you are dissatisfied in any way with their condition on arrival, please let us know within 14 days.
