Campanula portenschlagiana

Campanula portenschlagiana – Bellflower

A carpet of purple bells for walls, borders or pots

Campanula portenschlagiana, also known as Dalmatian bellflower, is a strong and long-flowering perennial native to the Alps and the Balkans. This low-growing ground cover forms a lush green carpet that bursts into masses of violet-blue bell-shaped flowers from late spring to mid-summer.

Perfect for cracks, walls and containers

Thanks to its creeping growth habit, this bellflower is ideal for brightening up walls, steps, rock gardens and border edges. It also thrives in pots and containers. Plant it in a sunny to semi-shaded spot with well-drained, preferably calcareous soil.

Easy to care for and pollinator-friendly

Campanula portenschlagiana is evergreen, hardy and low-maintenance. It tolerates dry periods well and reliably returns year after year. The flowers attract bees and other pollinators, making it a valuable addition to any wildlife-friendly garden.
