Collection: Campanula - Bellflowers

Campanula, commonly called bellflower, includes trailing, mounding, and upright plants with bell-shaped or star-shaped flowers, often in shades of luminous blue, lavender, purple, or white. Some spill over walls and containers, while others rise through borders like bright garden punctuation. Their varied habits make Campanula useful in cottage gardens, edging, rock-garden pockets, and mixed plantings.

Campanula species may be annual, biennial, or perennial. Mature size, flowering season, cold tolerance, and preferred light and moisture differ by variety, so check each plant page before choosing. Good drainage matters for many selections, while water needs and tolerance of summer heat vary with species and climate. For small spaces, compare ultimate spread as carefully as height; a charming bellflower can be an enthusiastic traveler.
