Campanula lactiflora 'Prichard's Variety'
milky bellflower ( syn. Campanula Pritchard's Variety )
Upright leafy stems are topped with showy clusters of violet-blue, trumpet-shaped flowers from midsummer to early autumn. A cottage favourite that is ideal for adding height to the border, it looks wonderful when planted next to old-fashioned roses.
