General Culture:

Easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Prefers part afternoon shade in hot summer climates. Intolerant of the extreme heat of the deep South. Needs regular moisture. Divide clumps every 3-4 years. Remove spent flowers to encourage additional bloom. In optimum growing conditions, 'Telham Beauty' will slowly spread in the garden by underground rhizomes and will self-seed.

Noteworthy Characteristics:

This peach-leaved bellflower is a rosette-forming, upright perennial which grows on stiff stems to 2-4' tall. Features large, outward facing, bell-to-cup-shaped flowers (to 1.5" long) which are porcelain blue. Flowers appear in slender terminal and axillary racemes atop erect, unbranched, leafy stems in late spring to early summer, sometimes with a respectable rebloom at the end of the summer. Stems rise from basal rosettes of narrow, toothed, glossy, bright green leaves (4-8" long). Rosettes are evergreen in warm winter climates. Stem leaves are much shorter (to 4" long).
