This perennial is a delicate lavender or blue flower that can tolerate a variety of conditions. It may look delicate, but this flower can withstand temperatures of -30 degrees Fahrenheit. It will thrive in full sun or in partial sun. The soil can be dry or moist and the weather hot or cold – the Bellflower Tussock doesn’t mind. It will grow well in zones 3-8. It should be planted in the fall in soil that is well drained. The cold weather of the winter is needed to help the seeds germinate. In the absence of cold weather, they can germinate in a refrigerator.
With flowers that are about 2 inches wide, the Bellflower Tussock is an eye-catching part of any garden. It can be used in containers or as the front row of flowers in a flower bed.
