Nursery contributed plant descriptions

From the Italian Alps comes this unusual perennial member of the Campanula family. Strange clusters of horn-like flowers in alluring blue-lavender shades are held on slender stems, above small mounds of dark green, toothed, broadly lance shaped leaves. When in flower it literally oozes elegance and charm. Easily grown but best in well drained alkaline soil. Makes an ideal potted specimen, perhaps with other plants of similar stature.
