Upright plantstalks covered in large bellflowers in late spring. The common and botanical names derived from the long narrow leaves. We've had the normal blue variety for many years now - they self-seed, sometimes enough to give quite a show in early June. More recently, I traded for seed of 'Alba', and got to see the results this year. No surprises, really - just a bright white equivalent.

It should not be difficult to find the seeds - there are dried pods along the flowerstalk. Just snipping a stalk and holding it upside down should unleash hundreds of seeds. After a while to pods develop holes and drop by themselves - maybe you waited too long? |
