Use:
Clustered bellflowers produce large clumps of showy clusters of rich purple flowers which are striking massed or as an accent near the front of the perennial border. They are also suited for the woodland garden. Clustered bellflowers produce terrific cut flowers.

Culture:
Clustered bellflowers are easy to grow and will quickly form a large clump. If you do not want to divide the clump frequently, you will need to allow space for the clump to increase when planting. Clumps can be divided easily in spring or fall. Clustered bellflowers prefer moist soil, but will grow on a dry bank. They will not spread as rapidly by runners in poorer, dry soil. The plants will thrive in full sun or light shade, but will grow vigorously in shade. Flowering can be prolonged if the seed pods are removed. Clipping back hard after flowering will keep the plant compact.
