Purple flowers like large bells. A cheerful sight! The nettle-leaved bellflower (Campanula trachelium) is decorative in a border. It is a true native plant! Welcome bees and butterflies as summer visitors to your garden. These organic flowers are edible. The flowers bloom beautifully in the summer.
Cut back the plant in autumn to rejuvenate it. Prune it back to approximately 20 cm above the ground. Plant three plants per linear metre. Give the bellflower a slightly shady spot near a tree or shrub. Bellflowers love nutrient-rich, moisture-retaining soil that drains well. But the plant also does well in a dry spot. Remember to give extra water during dry periods. Bellflowers combine well with Endres's cranesbill and hostas, too.
