Campanula ‘Blue Gown’

Common Name:
Trailing Bellflower ‘Blue Gown’ (Campanula poscharskyana ‘Blue Gown’)

Description:
Campanula ‘Blue Gown’ is a charming, low-growing perennial prized for its generous display of star-shaped lavender-blue flowers with delicate white centres. It forms a dense mat of fine green foliage that gently trails or mounds, making it ideal for rockeries, borders, retaining walls, and cottage gardens. Blooming from late spring into autumn, this variety brings continuous colour to the garden over an extended period. The soft, toothed leaves remain semi-evergreen in cooler climates, helping to maintain interest throughout the year. ‘Blue Gown’ spreads slowly via short runners, but it is non-invasive and easy to manage. It thrives in Melbourne gardens when planted in full sun to part shade and in well-drained soil. This cultivar also performs beautifully in pots, hanging baskets, and raised beds, especially when allowed to spill over the edges. Low-maintenance and versatile, it’s a favourite for brightening small spaces and attracting pollinators.
