Campanula ‘Genti Blue’

Common Name:
Genti Blue Bellflower

Description:
Campanula ‘Genti Blue’ is a compact, low-growing perennial that bursts with vivid blue, bell-shaped flowers from late spring through to autumn. This cultivar is known for its tidy mounding habit and excellent performance in both garden beds and containers. The deep green, slightly toothed foliage provides a clean backdrop to the profusion of blooms, which resemble small gentian flowers—hence the name. Ideal for Melbourne gardens, ‘Genti Blue’ thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers well-drained soil. It is drought tolerant once established and can handle light frosts, making it a durable performer in cool-temperate conditions. This variety is perfect for edging paths, rockeries, and potted displays, where it delivers long-lasting colour with minimal maintenance. Deadheading spent flowers will encourage repeat blooming, and a light trim after each flush helps maintain its dense, compact form. It is also a magnet for bees and other beneficial pollinators.
