Design Ideas
Plant bellflowers at the front of the border to create a tidy edge in bloom or out. Use to line a flagstone path. Makes a beautiful groundcover at the edge of woodland plantings where there's more sun. Lovely choice at the base of dry stone walls and rock gardens.
Thrives in moist, very well-drained soils. Shelter from harsh afternoon sun in hottest climates. Water deeply, regularly during first growing season to establish an extensive root system; once established, water as needed to maintain evenly moist soil. Feed in spring, repeat during growing season. Divide every 2 to 3 years in early spring.
History
This singnature genus of the bellflower family contains about 300 species found in the northern hemisphere around the world. This species is native to the Carpathian Mountains of southeastern Europe.
Lore
Old European folklore tells that fairies once made their homes inside bellflowers.
