Bearded bellflower is a charming alpine perennial prized for its nodding, pale blue bell-shaped blooms with distinctively fringed interiors. Grow it in partial shade with consistently moist, well-drained soil, preferably in a cool climate or rock garden setting. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming and divide clumps every few years to maintain vigor.
