Campanula

(Bellflower) Ambella Lavender

Picture a soft cushion of lavender-blue bells spilling over the edge of your border or pot, from early summer well into autumn. This little bellflower grows to about 30 cm tall and 30-40 cm wide, so it stays neat without any fuss. For a full, flowery edge, plan on 8-10 per square metre. Bees love the open bells, so this green friend turns your border into a pollinator café. Tuck it along a path, at the front of a border or in a pot on the terrace. Seasonal changes may affect whether the plant arrives with flowers.

Give it a spot in full sun or partial shade: a few hours of good light a day is what keeps the bells coming. Plant it in well-drained, lightly moist soil, because soggy roots are the one thing a bellflower really dislikes. Water during dry spells and check pots more often, as they dry out much faster than the ground. Snip off faded flowers and trim the plant back by about a third after the first flush, and it will often reward you with a second round. It is fully hardy, so it can stay outside all winter; just move pots close to a sheltered wall in a hard frost. Tidy away old growth in early spring.
