Campanula trachelium aka Nettle Leaved Bellflower

Campanula trachelium, commonly known as the nettle-leaved bellflower, is a beautiful Eurasian blue wildflower. Originally native to Denmark and England, it has now spread to southeast Ireland and can be found throughout much of Europe and even into Africa. This upright perennial features nettle-like leaves with jagged teeth and produces stunning racemes of double, violet-blue flowers during the summer months. The Nettle-Leaved Bellflower is a captivating addition to any garden, adding height and interest to beds and borders. While it thrives in alkaline soils typically found in woodland, scrubby grassland, and hedgebanks of Europe, it has also successfully naturalized in parts of North America. This resilient plant grows best in fertile, moist, and well-drained soils, tolerating partial shade to full shade conditions.
