Morphology

clustered + bellflower

Both parts are literal and compositional: 'clustered' means growing or arranged in tight groups and 'bellflower' denotes a bell-shaped flower/plant, so the phrase denotes a bellflower that grows in dense clusters. This straightforward adjective+noun construction follows normal English composition patterns, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents can infer the meaning.

Etymology

The name clustered bellflower comes from how the plant looks: many small, bell-shaped flowers grow close together in tight clusters, like a bunch of little bells on a stem. So the name means a plant with 'dense groups' of bell-like flowers.
