Much admired willow gentian. Long gracefully arching stems of thin narrow leaves bursting out in late summer with vivid blue bell like flowers, some with varying shades of white within. In hotter, drier parts of the country it would prefer to grow in a shady spot, with a retentive soil. In cooler, wetter areas, it will take a little more sun.
