Upright bellflower with crinkly broad leaves that indeed resemble those of a primrose. The blue flowers, which start opening in mid-July, face upward, for easy inspection. According to some references, they self-seed. This would be welcome, because I've found them to be tricky to establish. Even though they are supposed to be hardy to climates colder than ours, most of the plants we started last year, in various areas of the garden, didn't make it through winter. So I hope for a few volunteers to keep the stand going year after year.
