Codonopsis lanceolata, also called deodeok or lance asiabell,[1] is a flowering plant native to East Asia (China , Japan , Korea, and the Russia n Far East). It is a variety of bonnet bellflower.
Description
It is a hardy perennial climber that grows up to 1.5 m tall. It has bell-shaped flowers that are purple inside and bloom from August to September. The seeds ripen from September to October. The flowers are hermaphroditic and are pollinated by bees and wasps.[2]

Cultivation
It grows in moist areas in woodland on low hills or mountains at an elevation of 200–1600 m. The plant grows best in light and medium-well drained soils with plenty of moisture with a neutral to acidic pH and in full sun to semi-shade.[3]
Slugs and snails eat young shoots.
The plant is propagated by seed that are surface-sown onto ericaceous compost. Division is also possible, although great care must be taken as the plant is intolerant of root disturbance.
The plant is grown commercially in Hoengseong County, Gangwon Province, South Korea, where it is an important part of the local agriculture. However, many South Koreans grow a small amount in personal gardens.

Etymology
The specific epithet of lanceolata refers to the plant's lance-shaped leaves. The genus name, Codonopsis, is derived from the Greek κώδων (kodon) "bell" and ὄψις (opsis) "eye, to see", referring to the shape of the petals of the flower.[5]
