A clumping, Winter dormant perennial, hailing from the woodlands of Japan. Rosettes of toothed, dark green, spoon shaped leaves. In mid Summer tall stems bear whorls of small, pendant, pale blue bells. Leave undisturbed once planted. A charming plant of delicate appearance, that does surprisingly well under our conditions.
