Description
The peach-leaved bellflower bears large, widely open bells in delicate blue or white in June and July on slender, upright stems and is one of the most elegant perennials of the farmyard garden. Wild bees and bumblebees climb deep into the bells. It self-seeds gently and returns year after year.
Care instructions
Sow the bellflower from April (week 16) or plant it in a sunny to partially shaded spot with well-drained, humus-rich soil. Water moderately during dry periods; it does not tolerate waterlogging. Cut the stems back immediately after flowering (July week 28) to stimulate a second bloom and keep the plant compact. In spring, strong clumps can be divided.
