Duo of Peach-leaved bellflower in blue and white

The collection consists of 2 plants:

- x 1 Campanula persicifolia: lavender-blue flowering

- x 1 Campanula persicifolia 'Alba': pure white flowering

The peach-leaved bellflower is always welcome in a garden, punctuating borders here and there with pretty flower clusters. Hardy below -15°C (5°F),  Campanula persicifolia thrives in sunny or partial shade positions: the further south you go, the more it will need a shaded spot in the afternoon. Plant it from March to May and from September to November in ordinary garden soil, deep enough and not too dry in summer. An excellent bedding plant, this unpretentious flower is also suitable for large borders. It accompanies roses and peonies, lightening their heavy corollas, and gets along well with columbines, foxgloves, and annual poppies, with the rose campion, the dame's rocket... there is no shortage of ideas for associations, in country scenes, in 'English' or romantic gardens. To use it as groundcover, plant 6 plants per m². To interplant it between small shrubs or sturdy perennials, plant it in groups of 3, 50-60 cm (20-24in) apart. Like catmints, the peach-leaved bellflower is an excellent companion for bedding roses or groundcover roses. It is also a plant that produces fantastic flowers for bouquets, to be combined with lilacs, garden irises, roses, and peonies, for example.
