Adenophora khasiana, commonly known as Ladybells, is a deciduous perennial herb native to the forest margins and meadows of South and Southeast Asia, particularly in regions with cool, moist climates. It typically grows to a height of 1-3 feet (0.3-0.9 meters) and a width of about 1 foot (0.3 meters). The plant features upright stems with lance-shaped leaves and produces bell-shaped blue flowers in the summer, which are moderately showy and attract pollinators.

Ladybells are appreciated for their charming blue flowers and their ability to naturalize in suitable conditions. They are often used in border plantings, cottage gardens, and woodland gardens. Adenophora khasiana thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers consistently moist, well-drained soils with a rich organic content. While generally low-maintenance, they may require staking in very rich soils or partial shade to prevent flopping. Potential problems include slugs and snails, which may damage the foliage, and root rot in overly wet conditions. It is important to avoid excessive winter wetness to ensure plant health.CC BY-SA 4.0
