Birch Hybrid Bellflower is a clumping rosette forming perennial with leathery toothed bright green semi-evergreen foliage. Heavy blooms of nodding cup shaped purple-blue flowers last from late spring through summer. Removing stems after flowering may encourage another bloom. Flowers best in filtered sun in the South and consistently moist well-drained soils.
