  • Description

  • Notes

Dalmatian bellflower is a mat forming perennial, growing about 6 to 12 inches tall, and 1 to 2 feet wide (though in time, it may spread wider). It has finely textured, dark green leaves that are covered by purple-blue, open bell-shaped flowers mid- to late summer. This bellflower tolerates drier soils and more shade than some of the others, and so is a fine addition to shadier, but drier rock gardens, the edges of perennial borders, and parkstrips.
