New Giant Peachleaf Bellflower

Campanula persicifolia 'New Giant'

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Campanulaceae
Plant Description: A reliable and self-seeding garden flower with large, bell-shaped, sky blue blooms rising on spikes above narrow foliage. Works well as a cut flower, reblooming when spikes are cut. Pairs beautifully with yellow perennials such as daylilies and coreopsis.

Maintenance:

Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
