    Plant Type: Perennials

    A profusion of lavender blue, 1 inch long, fluted bell shaped flowers, smother the bright evergreen foliage from late spring to late summer.  Deadheading regularly will insure a profuse bloom period.  A vigorous grower, forming spreading mats by underground runners. Makes a good ground cover, and can also be used in containers, rock gardens, on slopes, or in crevices.

    Growing & Maintenance Tips:

    This group of Campanula is a robust, rock garden species, and many will thrive on sunny walls or banks. They require moist, very well-drained soil and will grow in either sun or partial shade. Most members of this group appreciate some afternoon shade in southern regions. Plants can be propagated either by seed or division in early spring or early fall.
