Insights
Bellflowers are the indigenous form of Campanula in Britain, but native butterflies and bees are attracted to this recent cultivar so quite apart from its beauty, ecologically it is an excellent addition to the herbaceous border.
Details
Long lasting flowers appear in early summer and last until October.
Planting
- Well drained, fertile, moist soil
- All aspects
- Full sun, partial shade
Care
Cut right back after the first flush of flowering to encourage a second flush in late summer. Avoid water logging of the roots in winter.
