Campanula poscharskyana

Though sometimes considered old-fashioned, Campanula are a favorite genus of ours. We love the seemingly endless varieties of shapes, sizes, and colors. All are easy to grow in full sun, most are lime-lovers, none are too fussy about soil.

Serbian Bellfower is an extremely vigorous ground cover with tiny lavender flowers. It is drought tolerant and makes an excellent addition to the rockery. Beautiful trailing over a stone wall.
