Bellflower (Campanula Carpatica Blue) - The deep green foliage is an ideal backdrop for these gorgeous sky blue flowers. These sun loving flowers make an ideal border for edging your garden or as a container planting on your patio. Bellflower grow easily from flower seed and are low-growing, rhizomatous flowers which make good general use ground covers for edging. It does not tolerate foot traffic. To facilitate additional blooming the flowers need to be deadheaded. Prefers sun to partial shade and well-drained soil.
Bellflower flower seed requires light to germinate, so don't cover with soil. Instead, lightly press the flower seeds into the soil to ensure good contact and keep moist until germination. If starting indoors, use a seed-starting mix and bottom water so mold won't form on the mix. Bellflower flower seed can also be sown directly outdoors in prepared beds after last frost.
