Campanula persicifolia Hidcote Amethyst

<strong>The campanula is a often perennial plant that offers abundant and long-lasting flowering!</strong> It is mainly known for its blue or mauve flowers, but it can also be white or pink depending on the variety. With its bell-shaped, drooping flowers, the campanula has a delicate and fragile appearance, evoking emotion... It is a very simple flowering, yet it is not lacking in charm! The campanula can be very tall (up to 2 m), with an upright habit and flowering in spikes, but it can also be ground-covering, forming cushions that are covered in flowers, as seen in wall campanula or Carpathian campanula. Their use in the garden is very varied: the taller varieties, such as <em>Campanula persicifolia</em> or <em>Campanula glomerata</em>, will be planted in borders, while the smaller <em>Campanula portenschlagiana</em> or <em>carpatica</em> are more suited for rockeries or low walls. Others will be ideal for edging, in woodlands, or in window boxes on a windowsill... Campanulas are versatile plants, suitable for a wide range of uses! <strong>The campanula is a very easy plant to grow.</strong> Not demanding, it also requires very little maintenance (or none at all, for example with <em>Campanula muralis</em>). <strong>We recommend planting it in full sun or partial shade, in well-draining and light soil.</strong> It can easily be propagated by sowing, division, or propagation by cuttings... and sometimes self-seeds spontaneously!
