Virginia Bluebell

Virginia Bluebell is a Unique Flowering Perennial

Virginia Bluebells flowers are ¾" to 1" long blue flowers formed in a bell-like shape with petals that do not individually separate but suggest five petals at the flower's edge. They are on a 12" to 30" tall, light green, hairless stem with leaves of light green to grey-green and round. The leaves measure 7" long and 3" wide and are also hairless. The buds are pink. As the buds blossom, they become light pink-purple and acquire their light blue color as they mature. Each stem holds a cluster of flowers. These flowers are occasionally white or pink at maturity.
