Blooming late Spring thru Fall, you can’t find an easier, tougher & more bloomy perennial for shade. This rare “Ladybells” sends her lovely flowering stems to 3’ tall & we’re talking a lot of stems, forming a mass of rich lavender, 2,” flaring bells. Spreads to 3’ across by underground stems, it’s a fuss-free choice for that strip along the shady side of your house. Just top-dress with compost once or twice a year for best & longest bloom.
