Common name ladybells Family campanulaceae Life cycle perennial (Z5-8) Flowers blue Light From seed germinate cold detailed seed-starting info below One of two new species of Adenophora we grew from seed a few years ago. Their basal foliage looked quite different from that of others in the genus in early spring, but by mid-summer the plants look similar to their peers. My attempt to ascertain, by examining the base of the style, that this is indeed an adenophora rather than a campanula failed, and the leaves look different from online photos of the species, so I'm pretty sure my plants are not what I think they are. They appear distinct from similar species in the way the white stamens spiral around the style. In any case, they have shown no invasive tendencies, which is always a relief with campanulas and their close relatives.

In our garden, this plant grows in the following areas: bogside border, sale plot
