Tall Bellflower (Campanulastrum americanum)

A.k.a. American bellflower. A lovely blooming annual or biennial flower at home on the edge of woodlands or in bright understory. Does not tolerate deep shade. Reseeds reliably but not wildly, so patches maintain themselves well when allowed to reseed. Plants generally do not bloom their first year, and will put up tall bloom stalks in their second year.
