Campanula ‘Pink Octopus’ is a peculiar hybrid bellflower likely involving C. punctata with lantern-like buds opening to large, pendulous flowers where the bells are split into separate, long, linear, narrow, pink petals like flailing octopus arms speckled with dark pink. Easy to grow and very floriferous with a creeping, groundcovering habit.

Pink-lav octopus like flowers

By: Jockey Hill Nursery

A very unique Campanula with narrow dissected foliage and rich pink flowers with long spidery petals opening from large glowing buds. This will bloom a month or more and is a spreader so give it room or enjoy it in a container.

Japanese lantern buds open to striking pink, octopus-like flowers. Over 50 blooms flutter down from the nicely upright flowering branches above strong, deeply cut foliage. Unique and interesting! Long bloom time and easy to grow. This spreader does very well in the South. Tolerant of most soils.
