These clump-forming, low-growing Carpathian bellflowers are perfect for softening the edges of a sunny raised bed or rockery. They produce a profusion of blue, bell-shaped flowers on branched stems over a long period from June to September and rosettes of heart-shaped, mid-green leaves. A useful little perennial for filling in gaps.
