Chilian Bellflower

Chilian Bellflower (Nolana) - Pretty hardy annuals from S. America—N. paradoxa, N. prostrata, and N. atriplicifolia among the best. They have slender trailing stems, and flowers generally blue. N. atriplicifolia has beautiful and very showy blue flowers with a white centre, and there is a white variety (N. a. alba). The Nolanas are suitable for borders or for the rock garden, as they thrive in any warm open situation in good light soil. As seedlings do not transplant well, seed should be sown in the open in March, and the plants well thinned out. Seeds.
