More Information
This fast-growing perennial is prized for it’s colourful, bell-shaped deep violet-blue flowers, which are carried on tall, elegant stems with dark green leave, flowering through July and August. It’s native to much of Europe, and is also found in Anatolia and Turkey and as far east as central Asia. In the county of Cambridgeshire, the plant is known as ‘Dane’s Blood’ because it is said to grow prolifically on the Bartlow Barrows, said to have been thrown up by the Danes to commemorate a battle fought by Edmund Ironside and King Canute in 1006. The leaves are said to have a mild, sweet flavour and can be cooked or eaten raw as a salad ingredient. The flowers are also edible.
