Campanula is a wide-ranging genus of plants that contains everything from rare, difficult-to-grow wimps to vicious thugs, with only a few between. Over the years, we have killed several campanula and discarded others, but along the way we found some real gems for the garden, which we present below. We hope you enjoy our Campanula selections as much as we do.

Campanula are late spring and summer flowering perennials that prefer partial sun. Although most perform best in slightly moist soil, some of our campanula offerings are very drought-tolerant. Campanula produce bell-shaped flowers that attract hummingbirds and butterflies. This feature is so emblematic, that plant taxonomists have even coined the word "campanulate" to mean any bell-shaped flower.

(aka: Campanula 'Blue Waterfall') Got dry shade? We've got a plant for you! This Blooms of Bressingham introduction makes a weed-smothering mat of creeping stems and small dark green leaves, which are topped from May through August with small star-shaped, lavender-blue flowers. Although Campanula 'Camgood' prefers slightly moist soils and part sun, we have found it's tolerance for dry shade to be nothing short of amazing. Compared to the straight species, Campanula 'Camgood' makes a tidier mat with darker green leaves. In 3 years, you should expect a 4' wide mat of flowers attractive to hummingbirds. Pot Size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
This 2006 Terra Nova introduction is an improvement over the wonderful Campanula 'Kent Belle' created by crossing the running Campanula punctata with the equally rambunctious Campanula trachelium. This result was a non-spreading (go figure) bellflower which makes a 2' tall x 18" wide clump topped, starting in late spring and reflowering through the summer, with 2' tall stalks of blue-lavender nodding bells...a very cute hummingbird magnet perfect for blending into some great border combinations. Pot Size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
From Christian Kress of Austria's Sarastro Nursery comes this superb bellflower hybrid between two heat-loving species (Campanula punctata x trachelium). The slowly spreading habit, compared to the thuggish Campanula punctata, makes this a far better choice for most home gardens. Starting in late spring, the clumps are topped with 18" flower spikes of large, dark purple, pendent bells...simply a fantastic perennial in a wide range of climates! Pot Size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
