Nolana paradoxa (Chilean Bellflower)
Botanical Name: Nolana paradoxa
Type: Half-Hardy Annual

Nolana paradoxa, also known as the Chilean Bellflower, offers stunning, funnel-shaped flowers in shades of vivid sky blue with a delicate white throat. Often compared to petunias or morning glories, these low-growing, trailing plants are perfect for sunny containers, rockeries, and hanging baskets. Their drought-tolerant nature and striking colour make them a favourite for hot, dry spots and Mediterranean-style gardens.
