Common name bats-in-the-belfry, nettle-leaved bellflower Family campanulaceae Life cycle perennial (Z4-9) Flowers violet-blue Size 18" Light full sun-part shade Cultural notes well-drained soil, not too dry Typical bellflower, with blue flowers on an upright but fairly small plant, with dark green leaves. Close-up inspection shows that the flowers and stems are slightly hairy. The flowering plants from last year didn't return this year (although last year's seedlings did, and are blooming now) - so it seems to have a biennial habit at least in our climate.

This plant used to grow in our garden, but it slipped away...
