Campanula lactiflora ‘Pouffe’
Dwarf Milky Bellflower |
USDA Zone: 4-9 |
Plant number: 1.110.250
Bellflowers are among the most popular of perennials. This selection forms a low, bushy mound of green leaves, bearing loads of starry soft lavender-blue flowers, beginning in early summer. Removing faded blooms will encourage more buds to form. Plants can be clipped hard in summer if they get floppy. Excellent companion to roses of all types. A nice choice for edging, it also does well in mixed tubs or containers. In warm climates this will perform best with partial shade and a rich, moist site. Easily divided in spring or fall.
