Description
Campanula Ambella Pink is a variety of Wall Bellflower with a compact, ball-shaped habit that produces pink star-shaped flowers. It is a creeping perennial plant that forms beautiful, long-flowering mats, in spring and early summer, and sometimes again in September. Renowned for its robustness and adaptability, it is a classic in gardens. This wonderful, floriferous ground cover deserves a prominent place in rockeries, above a wall, or in a planter where it cascades joyfully.
Campanula portenschlagiana belongs to the bellflower family. It is a small, very hardy perennial plant, native to the Balkan mountains. In nature, it is found in rock crevices and high mountain scree. The improved variety Ambella Pink forms a cushion of about 20 cm (8in) high, with a minimum spread of 40 cm (16in). It spreads by stems that root upon contact with the ground, allowing it to occupy an increasingly large area. Flowering begins in late spring and continues throughout the summer, more significantly in cooler climates. It is common for flowering to pause in summer when it is dry and hot, often a second flush of flowers occurs in autumn. The star-shaped bell flowers measure 2 to 2.5 cm (1in) in diameter. The foliage is semi-evergreen to evergreen depending on the climate and consists of small, hairy, long-stalked, heart-shaped leaves with toothed edges.
This Ambella Pink wall bellflower does not tolerate excessively hot, dry climates, or hot nights. It thrives in light, not-too-dry soils, but not stagnant moisture that causes root rot. It is easy to provide such conditions in a sunny or partially shaded rockery. It quickly fills cracks in paving and covers old walls and low walls. When planted in a row, it creates lovely small borders that are very neat. It is suitable for wild gardens and planting in pots, in a light and well-drained substrate. In hanging baskets, it cascades in small bright curtains: for example, combine it with pink Diascia, annual white-flowered Euphorbia Diamond Frost , or lemon yellow Coreopsis.

Planting and care
Campanula likes fresh, light, moist soils, but dislikes stagnant humidity that causes the roots to rot. It requires perfectly well-drained soil, even limestone, but still slightly moist to thrive. You can plant it in non-scorching sun, or in partial shade, sheltered from strong winds that dry it out. This mountain plant does not appreciate climates that are too hot or nights where the temperature remains high. It develops well during hot summer days tempered by cool nights. Its development can be easily controlled by cutting the creeping stems back. Clean the foliage at the end of flowering and in spring. In pots regularly provide organic fertilizer to support flowering.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
