Description

Campanulas have retained their popularity with gardeners for many years, and yet this elegant variety is surprisingly underused, though becoming more widely known. Campanula takesimana produces arched stems of glossy, toothed foliage which are topped with large pendant, bell-shaped flowers. The pink flushed blooms are well worth a closer look, as the inside of each flower is decorated deep maroon freckles. This hardy perennial has a rapid growth habit that will quickly form large clumps in borders. It prefers a lightly shaded spot making it useful for under-planting trees and shrubs,or filling the darker borders in the garden
