Nolana paradoxa, the Chilean bellflower, is a species of flowering plant in the family Solanaceae, native to central and southern Chile.[1][2] A spreading half-hardy annual reaching 9 in (23 cm) and useful as an edger or ground cover, it requires full sun.[2] There is a cultivar, 'Blue Bird'.[3]

N. paradoxa serves as a model system for scientific studies on flower color.[4][5]
