The brilliant golden color of the delicately scalloped foliage of this perennial is a stunning contrast for its handsome lavender-blue star shaped flowers. This wonderful and easy-care groundcover grows to only six inches tall and spreads widely by prostrate stems. This is perfect for creating a bright spot of color for rock walls, containers or cottage gardens. S-PSh/M

Imagine a brilliant gold carpet adorned with sapphire gems wandering thru your garden! Mat forming, creeping stems with brilliant yellow leaves provide a lovely backdrop for the blue star flowers May>June. Sun to part shade (especially in hot climates), average, medium moisture soils, spreads to create a small scale ground cover. Superb planted in chinks of stone walls!

Campanula ‘Dickson’s Gold’ exhibits a compact mound of bright golden foliage accented with deep blue flowers. This slow growing variety remains compact for years. The contrast between the blooms and foliage is spectacular. Very eye-catching! Bellflower likes any well-drained soil. This low growing CLIFF HANGER® plant will form a trailing mat of foliage and is a good selection for rock walls and containers.

Similar to Campanula 'Constellation' except the foliage is a light golden color and the flowers are pale blue. A delightful combination. Not nearly as strong a grower as C. 'Constellation' as there is a definite lack of chlorophyll, but well worth growing for that highly desirable shade of pale blue.
