Campanula 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. Idaho has restricted all potted plant material from being shipped into Idaho at this time.

Campanula Plant Care

Campanula punctata likes well-drained soil in sun to part shade. In warmer climates where nighttime temps remain above 70 degrees, it requires some shade from the hot afternoon sun. Removing spent flowers stalks will encourage rebloom and discourage seeding (if not wanted). Leave any new fall foliage at the base to overwinter. Can divide every 3-4 years in the spring.
