Perennials - Blue Chip Campanula Review

The foliage of the Blue Chip Campanula grows in a mound of tiny, heart-shaped leaves.  The china-blue flowers are shaped liked little bells and appear abundantly throughout the summer.  I also bought the Campanula in a white variety and from a design standpoint, they cool down the reds, yellows, and oranges in the surrounding flowers in the garden bed.  I have mine planted in full sun, but

My Campanulas are planted in full sun, though they also do well in partial sun (zones 3 - 7).  The mounded plants flower from mid to late summer.  They only grow to about 8 or 9 inches tall, so they are perfect plants for ground cover.  They grow moderately, but I haven't had any problems with them trying to take over or invade other plants.   These flowers do die back in the fall, but they return reliably the following spring.  Consider using them in places that are difficult to mow or as an accent in borders. 

In my opinion, the Blue Chip Campanula is a traditional standby that may not be the center of attention in your garden, but it adds depth to the overall look and feel of your flower show.
