Creeping Bellflower


This introduced, non-native plant is called Creeping Bellflower, and this particular plant was growing at Paskapoo Slopes (in the city).
"Most of the ornamentals plants we enjoy growing in our gardens are not native to North America or are cultivars of of non-natives. Many of the traits we admire in some ornamentals - vigorous, very hardy, self-sows, naturalizes - are the very same characteristics of an invasive plant. Very few introduced plants become invasive - only about 10% - but those that do, harm our natural areas, reduce forage for wildlife & livestock, and cost agricultural producers & land managers money every year for control efforts. Some of these plants came with European settlers as beloved reminders of home. Others were contaminants of crop seed. And as long as humans have been traveling between the continents, plants have gone with them. Some introductions are intended for agriculture, some for medicinal reasons, and many for ornamental purposes.... Its creeping root system and resistance to some herbicides makes Creeping Bellflower extremely difficult to eradicate." From
