W263 Ladybells ( Adenophora liliifolia )
This perennial spreads prolifically by seed as well as with aggressive runners. Large groupings can be quite striking with delicate purple-blue nodding bells born atop light green foliage, blooming from late summer to autumn.
Ladybell's supporting stems are tall and strong. This long lived perennial is well suited for containers, which will keep it from spreading aggressively as these plants are prone to do.
