Campanula portenschlagiana Ambella® ‘Lavender’


Dalmatian Bellflower

USDA Zone: 3-9

Plant number: 1.111.250


Bellflowers are among the most popular of perennials. This showy, dwarf species is often grown in rock gardens, used as an edging, or in tubs and pots. This selection from the Ambella® colour series forms a spreading patch of heart-shaped, small green leaves, bearing loads of open, funnel-shaped, lavender bells beginning in early summer and blooming for weeks on end. Because this is vigorous, keep it away from delicate alpine plants that could be accidentally smothered. Also may be used as a groundcover for a smaller area, especially nice under shrub roses. Plants may be clipped hard after blooming, to keep a tidy, compact appearance.
