Campanula ‘Sarastro’
Hybrid Bellflower |
USDA Zone: 4-9 |
Plant number: 1.110.920
Bellflowers are among the most popular of perennials. This selection is similar to ‘Kent Belle’ but with a more bushy, compact habit and an even longer blooming season. Plants form a mound of dark green leaves, bearing upright stems with huge drooping bells in a rich deep violet-purple shade. Easily divided in spring or fall. Stems will need to be staked. Combines beautifully with Cranesbill Geraniums, Phlox or Hosta. Also excellent in containers or tubs. Removing spent flowers will increase blooming time. Outstanding cut flower.
