This plant is growing wild in my garden-I did not plant it. I find that it is extremely invasive and difficult to eradicate. The roots are long and turnip-like. The flowers are pritty, but I would not recomend this plant.

Medium 30-36" - Plant 20" apart. zone 3-8. Tall spikes of amethyst blue bloom all summer long. Excellent cut flower.

Adenophoras produce many spikes of colorful bells in summer. They are prolific spreaders. Deadheading will prevent seeding, and a barrier will help with running if spread is not wanted.
