This has to be one of my favorite plants. It is beautiful . It bloomed all summer, it is now October and still blooming! I don't even know where it came from. The first year it was just green leaves, this year it hasn't stopped blooming since it started. It is said it will now die off after a year of blooms. I hope it has reseaded itself well. Maybe a little mulch will help it stay around another year.

From Greece, this biennial bellflower is well worth growing. Plants are quite busy and produce many lavender-blue 'chubby' bells. Allow them to self-seed to carry on the display for the future. Good for the rockery or front of the pernnial border. Overall, it looks like a dwarf canterbury bell, C. medium.
