Description: The show-stopping Clustered Bellflower is a versatile perennial that provides a striking contrast to any landscape. With its tight, charming clusters of large violet flowers and glossy, dark green leaves, it is bound to be one of your new favorites! Originat- ing in the North Temperate Zone of Eurasia, it has been naturalized here in North America. It thrives in a variety of settings and can be found anywhere from forests to grasslands to woodlands. Its vig- orous and durable qualities make it a perfect match for Colorado’s sometimes challenging and unpredictable climate.
Care: The Clustered Bellflower is adaptable but prefers full sun to partial sun. Water moderately and remove faded blooms to allow for new growth. When blooming has finished and foliage declines, cut plants back to basal leaves. Allow foliage to remain for the win- ter and clean up in spring. Divide in the spring or fall as necessary. Fun Fact: It makes an excellent cut flower and can last up to 2 weeks in a vase!
