The long and narrow country of Chile occupies a large portion of the
western coast of South America. The climates and geography along the coast of Chile are a mirror reflection of the
western coast of
North America. The similarity of these two regions provide an opportunity for easy
adaptation of the beautiful Chilean flora to Western North America. The mediterranean and temperate vegetation and
forests of Chile have gifted us with exotic flowers such as the Chilean and Austral bellflowers.
These bellflowers from Chile add beauty and function to your garden with waxy, delicate, bell-shaped flowers
followed by edible fruits.
