A rare and beautiful Greek species that maintains a tenuous foothold in cultivation, it’s native to serpentine screes in Greece and has a reputation for collapsing without warning, however it is not generally monocarpic; always coveted by those who can grow it for the wide open dark blue bells veined with yet a deeper color. www.arrowheadalpines.com /ba-ce.htm   (3979 words)
