Evia bellflower

A short, softly hairy, biennial plant, that is usually monocarpic (dying after seeding once) though it can be longer-lived. Multiple flower stems, curving outward and upward to 30cm tall, rise out of a basal rosette of stalked, pale green, usually heart-shaped leaves. Flowers are large for the size of plant, 4-5cm long, a curvacous bell-shape like Canterbury bells, pale bluish-lilac, borne in lax panicles throughout the summer
