Charming, cream bell-shaped flowers, flushed reddish-purple on the outside and red-spotted inside, from June to August and heart-shaped, mid-green leaves. This vigorous, bellflower is perfect for a sunny, moist, well-drained cottage-style border. It's best cut back after flowering both to prevent self-seeding and to encourage a second flush of flowers.
- Garden care: Avoid planting out seedlings until all threat of frost has passed. During the growing season water freely and apply a balanced liquid fertiliser each month. Cut back after flowering both to prevent self-seeding and to encourage a second flush of flowers
