JUNE THROUGH AUGUST 



SMALL, drooping, purplish-blue bell-shaped flowers, the flower buds 

 being erect, borne on delicate wiry stems six to twelve inches high. 

 The foliage is very small and inconspicuous. Naturalized in the woods, 

 it grows taller and more 

 slender, often reaching a 

 height of two feet. A 

 very lovely little plant, 

 well known in literature, 

 especially suited for the 

 rock garden and for 

 naturalizing. It is also 

 useful for edging the 

 herbaceous border, but is 

 liable to be crowded out 

 by other plants. 



A hardy perennial of 

 easy culture in rich, well- 

 drained loam. Prefers 

 sun. 



Propagate by seed, 

 cuttings, or by division.
