Bluebells is a lovely rossette-forming perennial with green thread-like foliage that usually dissapears before the flowers form. The fine upright flowering stems sport nodding blue flowers that bloom throughout summer. Deadheading can encourage additional bloom. Flowers best in filtered sun in the South and consistently moist well-drained soils.
