Campanula poscharskyana

Common Name:
Serbian Bellflower

Description:
Campanula poscharskyana, commonly known as the Serbian Bellflower, is a vigorous, low-growing perennial celebrated for its profusion of star-shaped, lavender-blue flowers that bloom from late spring through summer. Its trailing stems and heart-shaped green leaves create a dense mat, making it an excellent ground cover for rockeries, borders, and walls. This hardy plant thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts well to various soil types, provided they are well-drained. In Melbourne's climate, it performs exceptionally well, offering extended flowering periods and resilience against common pests. Regular pruning after flowering encourages a compact growth habit and promotes reblooming.
