A very vigorous visitor from Japan to say the least. Really neat bells in a creamy white with a cranberry tinge at the base. Full sun to part shade, average moisture. Plants are about 12" tall, adding about another 12" while in flower in mid Summer.

If fairies lived in flowers, they would certainly call this Korean Campanula home. White with hints of lilac on the outside and spotted maroon on the inside, the 2 in. lanternlike flowers lighten even the darkest of days. With reddish stems and large deep green basal foliage, this perennial spreads easily and can be grown in full sun on the coast.

This spreading perennial sends up 3' flower spikes that nod from the weight of profuse creamy white to lilac-pink pendulous bells. When viewed closely the flower throats reveal colorful maroon spots and a rosy blush. Flower color is best in shade, and plants develop a lush ground-hugging rosette of foliage with regular water. Hardy below 0F. Korea.
