LADYBELLS. Tall spikes of amethyst blue all summer.

Adenophora General Information

Deadheading will prevent seeding and a barrier will help with running if spread is not wanted. A better choice than Campanula for southern gardens. Idaho has restricted all potted plant material from being shipped into Idaho at this time.

Adenophora Plant Care

To promote bushiness, Adenophora may be cut back by one-half in May when they reach 6-8" tall. Cut plants down to basal foliage in fall, clean up in spring. Long-lived. Roots deeply, so may be difficult to divide.

Plantable Pots

Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!

100% Guarantee

We offer a 100% guarantee for all our perennials to reach you in good condition and to grow. If you're not satisfied, we'll reship or refund immediately. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions or concerns—we share your passion for gardening and want your new plants to thrive in your border!
