Campanula carpatica Blue (Campanula carpatica) is a compact, clump forming perennial producing masses of open, bell-shaped flowers in rich violet-blue.

 

Native to the Carpathian Mountains, this charming alpine species is ideal for rockeries, borders, containers, and cottage-style gardens bringing long-lasting colour and pollinator appeal to sunny or lightly shaded spots.

 

Thriving in well-drained soil, Campanula carpatica Blue flourishes in full sun to partial shade and blooms from early summer into autumn.

 

Its tidy habit and continuous flowering make it perfect for edging paths or softening stonework, while the nectar rich blooms attract bees and butterflies.

Sowing Instructions

 

Indoors or Outdoors:

Sow seeds on the surface of moist compost from February to April or directly into prepared beds from March to May. Do not cover—light aids germination. Keep moist until seedlings appear. Thin or transplant when large enough to handle, spacing 20–25 cm apart.

 

Growing On:

Deadhead regularly to encourage repeat flowering. Suitable for alpine troughs, gravel gardens, and low-maintenance borders. Protect from winter wet in exposed sites.

 

 

Campanula carpatica Blue offers alpine charm, compact growth, and pollinator value in a long flowering, easy care perennial. A graceful choice for naturalistic planting and summer colour.
