About American bellflower

American bellflower is a charming native wildflower that brings delicate beauty to any garden. Its slender stems hold lovely bell-shaped flowers in soft blue or purple tones that nod gently in the breeze. Best of all, pollinators absolutely love it. Bees and butterflies will visit your garden again and again to sip nectar from these cheerful blooms. It's the kind of plant that makes you smile every time you walk past it.

This is an easy-going annual, which means it grows fresh each year from seed. It prefers a spot with good sunlight and soil that drains well. Simply scatter seeds where you'd like them to grow, keep the soil reasonably moist while they're getting started, and let nature do the rest. You'll likely see this friendly wildflower reseed itself year after year. It's a wonderful way to bring native plants into your garden without fuss.
