from Kevin Lee Jacobs....love it!  To provide the garden with three seasons of beauty, I planted the sides of paths with shade-tolerant perennials. That’s Campanula persicifolia ‘Takion Blue’ pictured above. This two-foot tall “bell flower” puts on a big violet-blue show in late May; flowers appear on and off again until frost. I have it in a bed that is edged with the colorful Hosta ‘Wide Brim.’ This is a hosta that deer don’t seem to like.
