  • Description

  • Notes

This is a lovely group of bellflower that generally grow about 18 to 24 inches tall and 12 to 18 inches wide. It has an upright, sort of erect habit and dark green, ovate to arrow-shaped leaves. Flowers are and open bell-shape, and appear in upward facing clusters at the ends of stems. Blooms late spring to early summer, though some cultivars bloom later. The species is usually a periwinkle blue, but there are a number of cultivars available, including 'Alba' with white flowers, 'Superba' with dark blue flowers, and 'Joan Elliot' with deep violet-blue flowers. A wonderful addition to a perennial border. A nice cut flower.
