Campanula persicifolia ‘Kelly’s Gold’
Peachleaf Bellflower |
USDA Zone: 3-9 |
Plant number: 1.110.330
This is a colourful selection of an old cottage-garden favourite, discovered in a Washington State garden. Plants form a low clump of bright chartreuse-gold foliage, bearing upright flowering stems in early summer. The individual flowers are wide-open white bells, the petal edges stained in soft porcelain blue. Remove spent blooms to encourage more buds to form. Great for cutting. Easily divided in either spring or fall. Foliage may be cut back hard after flowering is over, to encourage fresh new leaves that will remain attractive until frost.
