Characteristics, Uses, and Fun Facts
Bellflowers are versatile perennials, providing a wide range of flower colors, shapes, and uses. Many Bellflower varieties offer long bloom time and easy care, while others feature some of the best blue and deep purple flower colors in the perennial world. Flower clusters come in all shapes and sizes including spikes, globes, and carpets - all valuable in any garden.
The Victorians believed that fairies slept in the bells or used them as goblets for dew. In North America, Haida Indians cautioned their children not to pick these flowers, or it would rain. And Navajo folk rubbed this plant on their bodies for protection while hunting or to keep off witchcraft.
