Tall Bellflower

Campanulastrum americanum

Struggling to find a woodland flower with showy blooms and mid-summer flower power? Well, look no further than Tall Bellflower! It sends up tall stalks of blue to lavender flowers. The flowers resemble wavy stars and can attract hummingbirds. Not picky about site, tall bellflower is adaptable to most soils, including clay. This plant is typically an annual or biennial and will not grow back once it flowers. Clear away mulch around the base of the plant after flowering so that seeds can grow into next year's plants.
