Use:
Peachleaf bellflower has low clumps of narrow leaves sending up slender, leafy stems with loose spires of outward-facing white cupped bells. It is a pretty cottage garden plant and an excellent plant for a sunny or partially shaded perennial border. It does surprisingly well in dry, shady locations and is in flower for a long time. It is good for cutting and booms last a good week in a vase if the stems are cut as the first flowers or two open.

Culture:
Peachleaf bellflowers are hardy and long-lived. The plants do not like to be crowded and should be divided at least every forth year. Dividing the plant each second year in August usually improves flowering the following year.
