General Information:
Campanula are versatile perennials that provide a wide range of colors, shapes and uses. Many varieties offer long bloom time and easy care, while others feature some of the best blues and deepest purples in the perennial world. Spikes, globes, carpets-all valuable in any garden. Campanula glomerata does well in most soils as long as its well-drained. Sun to part shade.
Plant Care:
Remove spent flower heads, leaving new fall growth at base to overwinter. Tolerant of alkaline soils. Cutting back foliage by half to 2/3rds after flowering will keep the mound low and compact if foliage declines. Can be divided every 3-4 years in spring or autumn.
