Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Classically elegant, unbranched vertical stems bearing large, bright purple bellflowers are just the thing to bring structure & color to the mid-garden. Showy, shiny buds unfold into storybook flaring bells, 3” across and deep. Dependably perennial, it blooms in Spring & if cut back will repeat bloom in Summer-Fall. In my experience, this is the longest blooming Campanula of all, growing to 3’ tall. Easy & great cut flowers too! Tolerant of heavy clay, but best in rich soil. Self-sows.
