Campanula americana, commonly called tall bellflower, is an upright annual or biennial that is native to moist open woods, moist meadows, streambanks and ditches in shady areas of eastern North America from New York and southern Ontario to Minnesota south to Florida, Alabama, Arkansas and Oklahoma. In Missouri, it is commonly found in every county throughout the State. In biennial mode, it produces in the first year only a low-growing basal rosette of leaves. In the second year, tall flower stems shoot up from the basal rosette to as much as 6' tall clad with rough, toothed, lance-shaped to ovate-elliptic green leaves (to 3-6" long). Flat, star-shaped, five-lobed, light blue flowers (to 1" across), each with a distinctively curved and recurved style and a pale white ring at the throat, bloom solitary or in clusters at the leaf axils in summer (June-August).
