Dalmatian Bellflower
Campanula portenschlagiana
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Campanulaceae
Plant Description: A low growing perennial that will add splashes of blue between steppingstones, along rock walls and climbing over rocks. The soft blue, bell-shaped flowers begin blooming in late spring and last through the summer. When it is out of bloom, rounded leaves with crinkled and irregularly toothed edges can be enjoyed.
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.
