Adriatic bellflower (or sometimes also called Italian bellflower) is a very attractive ground-covering, mound-forming perennial with star-shaped, light to mid blue-violet flowers. It produces numerous stems with masses of flowers in June and July, and if you cut the whole plant in early August when the main flowering has finished, it will re-sprout into a nice and dense mound with fresh flowers in September and October.Leaves are deciduous, small, mid green, ovate-heart-shaped, marginally toothed.
Filigree bellflower likes fertile, well-drained but evenly moist soil of almost any pH. It can be grown in full sun (never let it dry out completely) or part shade. Ideal for outdoor containers where it looks particularly beautiful when the flowering stems reach the pot edges and lean over the sides making a blue waterfall. Hardy to about -34°C (USDA zone 4).
