It blooms a little later than most clustered bellflowers, carrying rich blue color from late spring into early summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStems reach about 2 to 2.3 feet tall, so it fits the middle of a border or a cutting garden. Plant it in groups for the best effect; bees and hummingbirds both visit the flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA very upright clump about 24 to 28 inches tall and 22 to 26 inches wide with stiff, straight, leafy stems rising from a base of foliage. Leaves are lance-shaped, 2 to 4 inches long, medium to dark green with a slightly rough texture. Each stem is crowned with a tight, rounded cluster 2 to 3 inches across of upward-facing, bell-shaped flowers in deep violet-blue, each about an inch long with five pointed lobes; smaller clusters sit in the upper leaf joints. At peak bloom the plant is a column of green stems topped with dark blue-violet balls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt enjoys sun like lavender, and its violet-blue flower heads bloom alongside early lavender for a layered blue-purple look, though it wants a bit more moisture, so plant it at the richer edge of the bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrow in full sun to part shade in average to fertile soil with regular water and good drainage; it appreciates neutral to slightly alkaline soil. Hardy in zones 3-8. Cut back flowering stems after bloom to tidy the plant, and divide crowded clumps every few years in spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Campanula glomerata\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep violet-blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very upright clump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24–28 in tall × 22–26 in wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA hardiness zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3–8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e full sun, part sun to part shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom start:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-June\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeak bloom:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late-June\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long Blooming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeer resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderately resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollinator value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Great\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizes and shipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne full 72-cell plug tray: 72 young starter plugs of this variety (cells about 1⅓ in. wide × 2½ in. deep), rooted and ready to pot up into quarts or gallons.
