Campanula portenschlagiana is a low growing perennial that forms a neat mat of fresh green foliage topped with masses of violet blue star shaped flowers in early summer. It spreads gently, making it ideal for edging paths, softening the front of borders, trailing over walls or filling gaps in rockeries. This dependable plant is long flowering, easy to grow and a favourite with pollinators. Its tidy habit and bright colour make it a great choice for adding softness and movement to smaller spaces.

This plant is supplied as a young perennial plug around 3 to 5 cm in size. These smaller plants grow on quickly once planted and usually take around eight to twelve weeks to reach the size of a typical 9 cm growers pot. When your young plant arrives, unpack it straight away, water gently, and place it in a bright, sheltered spot for a short time while it settles. Plant out or pot on as soon as possible, keeping the soil moist while the roots establish. Once settled, it will grow into a healthy, long lasting perennial for your garden.
