A robust & popular bellflower that is tolerant of more sun & more drought than its cousins. Leaves are low & green most of the year, forming a dense spreading carpet to 4” high by 2' wide. In Spring, tall sturdy stems arise, & are topped with large, dense clusters of very bright purple flowers that bring in the hummingbirds, butterflies, & bees!

Rich soil is preferred! Reblooms if deadheaded.
