Tall Bellflower

Campanula americana
Unlike most members of the Bluebell family, this one does not have bell-shaped flowers. Instead, this species sports a blue, flat, 5-lobed flower with a lighter ring of blue at the throat of the flower and a long, curved, protruding style. Flowers measure ¾ to 1 inch (2 to 2.5 cm) across. The leaves are thin, long-pointed, lanceolate, toothed, and measure 3 to 6 inches (7.5 to-15 cm) in length. Plants range from 1.5 to 6 feet (45.7 to 183 cm) in height and are found in rich soil, thickets and banks. Flowers bloom from June to August.
