Description

Bellflowers are usually perennial, herbaceous plants. They typically bloom in shades of blue to purple, though white-flowering varieties also exist. Depending on the species, the ideal growing conditions vary widely. Some need almost swamp-like habitats, while others are classified as rock garden perennials. Several varieties are used as leafy vegetables, and some blossoms are not only beautiful in a vase but also excellent for culinary uses, for example candied. Other types are said to have healing properties, especially for relieving cold symptoms.
