Adenophora are deciduous perennial plants that are native to Western China. These delightful plants showcase elegant funnel or bell-shaped flowers that are displayed on stately stems, each resembling proud, gothic church spires. These intriguing and upright blooms are held together by attractive, clump forming foliage. Adenophora are best suited to flower beds and borders within cottage and informal garden settings. You should expect to see these plants grow to an approximate height of 70cm (28”) and a spread of 45cm (18”).
Adenophora are best planted in moist, well-drained soil of sand, clay, chalk and loam within an acidic, alkaline or neutral PH balance. Dig a hole that is deep enough to cover your bare roots without bending or snapping their form and space your plants 30-45cm (12-18”) apart. Settle the soil in place, covering your bare roots entirely, whilst watering them thoroughly and deeply. Adenophora are best positioned in an area of full sun or part shade during spring or early autumn.
Adenophora will benefit from a regular watering regime, ensuring the soil is kept moist yet not waterlogged. Watering should be increased during periods of drought. You should feed Adenophora lightly during spring to encourage healthy growth. Cut back your plants down to ground level after the first frosts to encourage healthy re-growth for the following season.
It is possible to propagate Adenophora by seed.
