Campanula glomerata 'Freya' PPAF (30)ct Ellepots
Common Name: Bellflower-Clustered.
Zones 3 to 8.
Full Sun to Part Shade.
Plants reach 16 inches tall and 12 inches wide;
Growth rate: moderate, herbaceous perennial spreads by self-seeding and offsets.
Knee-high clump of sturdy, green foliage is comprised of compact, clump forming rosettes. Compared to other glomerata types, this new cultivar is much more floriferous, with its flower stems comprising about 2/3 of the height of the plant. Full clusters of small, star-shaped, lilac purple flowers are borne almost all the way up the strong, upright, well-branched stems.
Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soil; but grows best in fertile soil with a neutral to alkaline pH. Keep the soil moist but make sure it is well-drained. Campanula will grow in either full sun or partial shade, though some shade is recommended in areas with very hot summers, as it is generally intolerant of the extreme heat. The delicate flower colors are best preserved with some shade. Summer mulch is beneficial and shear plants back to basal growth if foliage is significantly affected by summer heat.
Cut plants back after flowering to keep them more compact and help prevent self-seeding. Propagate by seed or division.
Attributes: Border plants, Container, Cut flower, Rock Gardens, mass planting in lightly shaded woodland areas can be left alone to naturalize. Attracts hummingbirds. Deer resistant. |
