Product description
Adenophora 'White Blaze', commonly known as ladybells, is an upright herbaceous perennial that makes a stunning addition to any garden. It features slender, elegant spires clothed in whorls of mid-green leaves and topped with dozens of dangling bell-shaped blooms. This plant brings a soft, luminous charm to borders, cottage gardens, and woodland settings. With upright stems and lush green foliage, 'White Blaze' creates a striking vertical accent in mixed plantings while maintaining a gentle, naturalistic feel. It’s an easygoing yet eye-catching plant that brings classic charm and elegance to any landscape.
In mid-to-late summer, Adenophora 'White Blaze' bursts into bloom with clusters of bell-shaped, pure white flowers. They hang in abundance along upright stems, creating a cloud of white blooms that brightens the garden. Ladybells 'White Blaze' blooms from June through August, delivering weeks of summer colour. During this peak, the plant not only adds visual delight but also supports garden ecology—its nectar-rich flowers are popular with bees and other pollinators, ensuring your garden buzzes with life. The long flowering season means you’ll enjoy an extended display, and the glowing white blossoms even stand out beautifully during evening hours, adding a magical touch to twilight gardens.
Plant Adenophora 'White Blaze' in well-drained, fertile soil with full sun to partial shade. Space plants approximately 18 inches apart to allow for healthy air circulation and growth. Water regularly during dry spells, especially in the first growing season, to establish a strong root system. It grows to a height of 1.2 meters, with a spread of 0.6 meters, forming a neat, upright clump over time. This plant prefers full sun to partial shade and requires moderate watering to maintain soil moisture while avoiding waterlogging. Adenophora 'White Blaze' is easy to care for.
Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.
