Estimated Native Range
Summary
Adenophora liliifolia, commonly known as Ladybells, is a deciduous perennial herb native to a variety of habitats in Europe and Asia, including open woodlands, meadows, and grassy slopes. It typically grows to a height and width of 2-3 feet (0.6-0.9 meters), forming clumps of upright stems. The plant is characterized by its lance-shaped leaves and bell-shaped, blue to violet flowers that bloom in late spring to early summer, providing a modest yet attractive display.
Ladybells are valued for their ease of maintenance and their ability to naturalize in garden settings, making them suitable for informal borders and cottage gardens. They are also used in mixed perennial beds for their vertical accent and delicate flowers. While they prefer consistently moist, well-drained soils, they are relatively adaptable and can tolerate some drought once established. It is important to note that they may require staking in windy locations to prevent stem breakage.CC BY-SA 4.0
