Greater bellflower is a tall, elegant perennial producing large violet-blue bell-shaped flowers in summer, ideal for cottage gardens and woodland edges. It prefers partial shade and moist, fertile soil, though it will tolerate full sun if kept adequately watered. Once established it requires minimal care and will reliably self-seed, naturalising beautifully under trees or along shaded borders.
