Cyananthus Incanus

Cyananthus Incanus - Flowers more freely than C. lobatus; and, like that species, it should be planted in a dry, sunny, well-drained position, as, if the situation be too damp, the fleshy root stock is liable to rot. It is even a good plan to place something over the plant during the resting season. The flowers are not so large as those of the other species, but are more charming in color, their beauty enhanced by the white tuft of silky hairs in the throat of the corolla. Campanulaceae.
