Campanula lactiflora
'Loddon Anna' Bellflower

Campanulas, or bellflowers, have been stock plants in perennial borders for years, and for many good reasons. Members of this genus often have a free flowering nature, long bloom times, and flowers in colors that seem to go with everything. Campanula lactiflora 'Loddon Anna' has all of these wonderful characteristics, and grows to a manageable 30" in height.
