      Campanula Blue Waterfall

      • Scientific Name: Campanula poscharskyana
      • Garden: Lawn Alternatives Garden
      • Plant Type: Ground Cover
      • Evergreen/Deciduous: Evergreen
      • Sun/Shade Exposure: Full Sun to Part SHade
      • Moisture Requirements: Moist, well-drained

      Plant Information

      Culture
      Easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Prefers part shade in hot summer climates. Performs best with regular moisture. Does not do well in climates where nighttime temperatures consistently remain above 70°F. Spreads quickly from root crowns by prostrate stems, but is generally easily controlled since stems can be easily trimmed to control growth. May be grown from seed. Clumps may be divided in spring. Foliage is semi-evergreen to evergreen in warm winter climates.

      Noteworthy Characteristics
      Campanula poscharskyana, commonly called Serbian bellflower, is a prostrate, sprawling perennial which typically forms a low, mounding ground cover to 4-6" tall (less frequently to 12"). Campanulate, lilac-blue flowers with flaring, star-shaped lobes (to 1" wide) appear in loose panicles along the stems in late spring. Long-stalked, oval-rounded to cordate, medium green leaves (to 1.5"). Native to the northern Balkans, including, as the common name suggests, Serbia.

      Problems
      No serious insect or disease problems. Snails and slugs are occasional visitors.

      Uses
      Rock gardens. Sprawl over walls or along banks. Edging for paths or border fronts.
