Campanula americana
Species of flowering plant in the bellflower family Campanulaceae / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Campanula americana, the American bellflower,[3] or tall bellflower,[4] is a bellflower native to eastern North America. Tall bellflowers can be annual or biennial with a varying life-history with seeds germinating in the fall producing annual plants and spring-germinating seeds producing biennial plants. Long-tongued bees are the primary pollinators, including Megachile campanulae, but halictid bees, butterflies, and skippers may also act as pollinators.[5] Tall Bellflowers do not generally self-pollinate.[6] Some authorities, including the USDA PLANTS database, consider the name Campanulastrum americanum to be the accepted name for this species.[7][8]
