Description
The peach‑leafed bellflower produces large, widely open bell‑shaped flowers in soft blue or white during June and July on slender, upright stems. It is one of the most elegant perennials in the farmer’s garden. Wild bees and bumblebees climb deep into the bells, and the plant self‑seeds gently, returning year after year.
Care instructions
Sow seeds from April (week 16) or plant in a sunny to partially shaded spot with well‑draining, humus‑rich soil. Water moderately during dry periods; the plant dislikes waterlogged soil. Cut stems back immediately after flowering (July, week 28) to encourage reblooming and keep the plant compact. In spring, strong clumps can be divided.
