Campanula ‘Baby Bells’

Common Name:
Bellflower (‘Baby Bells’)

Description:
Campanula ‘Baby Bells’ is a charming, trailing bellflower prized for its profusion of rich violet‑blue, bell‑shaped blooms cascading over pots, rockeries or embankments. As a vigorous groundcover, it creates a carpet of soft foliage and delicate blossoms from late spring well into autumn. This perennial thrives in moist, well‑drained soils, favouring a balance between sun and shade. It adapts beautifully to Melbourne’s climate, delivering consistent flowering throughout the warmer months. Its compact, mounding habit makes it ideal for edging pathways or trailing gracefully from containers. Light trimming after peak bloom encourages a denser habit and often a second flush of flowers. In early spring, a slow‑release fertiliser can boost its performance.
