Description
 
Codonopsis are usually twining members of the Bellflower or Campanula family and the range of color and shapes in the flowers of the various species keeps our interest in this genus at a sharp edge.  We are very keen on this one as it not only has intriguing flowers but a non-vining growth habit.  This makes a low clump of leaves from which long, stiff flower stems emerge to 18" tall.  The flowers are held several per stem and while not large, overcome this size deficiency with exceptional detail.  The small ivory bells are heavily netted in vivid maroon veins inside and out.  These stems are surely adapted to growing through grass or other low plants in Yunnan and Sichuan.  Hardy to zone 6 and likely lower.
