milky bellflower
Tall, branching stems bearing clusters of soft lilac, open, bell-shaped flowers appear from July to September among toothed, mid-green leaves.

A contented companion for old roses, it self-seeds freely, is popular with pollinating insects and the flower colour is retained best in partial shade.
