Clustered bellflower - Campanula glomerata
© Dr Chris Gibson/English Nature

When grown in the garden without competition from grasses, this short perennial can become a quite stunning plant with its clusters of deep purple bells evident from late June onwards.

It is an herbaceous perennial, with dark green, triangular leaves which form a loose rosette at the base of the plant. Grow it in a sunny position such as a flower border or rockery in a light, lime-rich soil where it will attract bees for its nectar and pollen.
