Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Campanula persicifolia 'Kelly's Gold' is a dramatic gold foliaged version of the peachleaf bellflower. It has long, narrow, lance-shaped leaves that can be bright gold in sun or chartreuse green in part shade. The large, white, cupped, outward-facing flowers are shaded with pale blue at the edges and appear in early summer on stems to two feet or more tall. Foliage could burn in full sun if proper moisture is not provided.
Spring's brilliant golden foliage gives rise to 2' stalks of white bells tipped with blue, a lovely combination!; from Ann Holt's garden. S/M
Bright yellow leaves on this golden version of Peach Leafed Bellflower, slowly spreading clumps with summer stems rising 18-24” with blue tinged white sunward facing bells. Sun to part shade, average garden conditions, decent soil. Deer resistant, easy perennial even for beginners. Nice cut flower too. Deadhead occasionally for longest bloom.
This colorful perennial displays whorls of bright golden-green foliage and white, bell-shaped flowers edged in soft blue. Best in moist, well-drained soil. Plant in borders, containers, or as a mass planting. Kelly's Gold makes a great compliment to cut flower arrangements.\n
