Bellflower - Campanula

An entire book could be written on the many species of this large group of perennials. The belll-shaped flowers come in a wide variety of colors, and grow anywhere from a few inches to several feet high. We have chose two of the shorter varieties that should do well in a border or rock garden setting.  Campanulas like full sun, but can grow in light shade. If given plenty of room to grow, and good garden soil, they will show their appreciation by blooming heavily
