A member of the campanula family, ladybells, Adenophora pereskiifolia, bears tall spires of bell-shaped blue flowers throughout summer and into autumn. It’s easy to grow and flowers over a long season, perfect for a cottage garden scheme or a mixed herbaceous border. Its blooms are popular with bees and other pollinators, and it makes a lovely cut flower.
Grow Adenophora pereskiifolia in moist but well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade, ideally towards the middle of the border. It works well with a number of other flower types and colours, including lupins, lavender and alliums. Divide congested clumps every three years.
