Campanula

(Bellflower) Ambella White

Picture a soft cushion of white bells spilling over the edge of your border or pot, humming with bees from late spring right through summer. This compact bellflower grows to about 30 cm tall and 30-40 cm wide, so give it a little room to spread. For a full, flowery carpet, plan on 6-8 per square metre, or tuck a few into pots, window boxes and the front of a sunny border. The open bell-shaped flowers are a favourite with bees, and the fresh green leaves keep the cushion looking lush between flushes. Seasonal changes may affect whether this green friend arrives with flowers.

Give it a spot in full sun or light shade, where plenty of light keeps the flowers coming. It likes well-draining soil that stays slightly moist, because bellflowers sulk with soggy roots, so mix in some grit or compost if your soil is heavy. Water regularly in dry spells and check pots more often, as they dry out much faster than the border. Snip off faded flowers and cut the cushion back by about a third after the first big flush, which often brings a second round of blooms. It is fully hardy, so it can stay outside all winter; just make sure pots never stand in water.
