Lilyleaf Ladybells

Also known as Lily-Leaved Ladybell, Ladybells

Lilyleaf Ladybells grace damp meadows and woodland clearings across Eurasia with slender stems bearing airy clusters of sweet-smelling, pale blue or violet bell flowers. Unlike true bellflowers, this perennial possesses a distinctive tubular nectary disk surrounding the base of the style, which protrudes beyond the delicate petals. Pollinators like bumblebees and hoverflies visit the fragrant blooms throughout midsummer before the plant sets seed in papery capsules.
