Tall Bellflower (Campanula americana) is a self-sowing biennial plant. During the first year, it produces a basal rosette of heart-shaped leaves. The following year a tall stem arises from the increasing base of deep green foliage. The three-to-five foot spike has pointed oblong leaves and is covered in bright blue blooms, bringing a good splash of mid to late summer color to the shade garden. Hummingbirds are attracted to the blue flowers which have distinctive, long nectar tubes. Easy to grow, Tall Bellflower occurs naturally along woodland edges in partial shade. It prefers a rich, medium to moist soil, but is pretty adaptable – clay is well tolerated. The biennial plants will die after their second year, but their strong self-seeding gives them a perennial presence in the garden. American Bellflower is another common name for this plant.
Native plants can be grown outside of their native range in the appropriate growing conditions. This map shows the native range, as well as the introduced range, of this species.
