Campanula cochlearifolia 'Arnolda Stam'
Bell shaped flowers in shades of blue, lavender, purple or white adorn these summer flowering plants. The genus includes large herbaceous perennials as well as small alpine species. 'Arnolda Stam' is a low-growing, alpine variety. It is a compact clump-forming rhizomatous perennial, with small, rounded bright green leaves, and bell-shaped pale blue flowers.
Planting
From Early Spring TO Mid Spring
Plant bellflowers in full sunlight and cut back tall plants or move large structures that create shaded conditions around them. Lay a 2 to 3 inch layer of organic mulch, such as straw or pine needles, to the soil surrounding the campanula and some into the planting hole beneath the root ball; do not press it directly against the plant's stem. Campanula plants grow well without mulch, but it helps soil retain water and deters weeds.
Propagation by seed
From Mid Spring TO Late Spring
Campanula can grow from seed or from rhizomes. The tiny seeds should go in prepared soil in spring after all danger of frost has passed. Make sure to keep seedlings moderately moist when caring for bellflowers. To plant rhizomes, sever them from the parent plant at a root node and bury the roots in the soil.
Flowering
From Early Summer TO Early Autumn
Bellflowers will bloom heaviest in early to mid-summer but can delight you with flowers all the way into Autumn in some areas.
