Rapido Blue Carpathian Bell Flower - Quart Pot - Campanula

CAMPANULA: Campanula are an easy to grow perennial, preferring a moderately rich, well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. Good drainage will ensure a large display of their bell-shaped flowers. Keep watered in the summer and fertilize regularly. You must dead-head flowers for continuous blooming. Blooms July to September. Rich violet-blue blooms appear about a month sooner than other Carpathian Bell Flower on this exciting new series! Rapido earns its name as the first buds appear in spring, quickly opening into glorious 2-inch bells. Prepared to flower heavily right through summer, this small plant adds a lot of charm to the perennial garden, woodland, and rockery! Flowering a full month sooner than older varieties (such as the popular Clips), Rapido covers itself in brilliant color, almost obscuring the handsome dark green foliage. Just 5 to 7 inches high and perhaps an inch wider, this low-growing plant is a startling presence in the front of the border, along paths, and lolling over rocks or along the tops of earthen walls. Wherever you plant Rapido, however, the hummingbirds will find it and feast upon its nectar! Nibbling rabbits and deer give it a miss, so you can set it fearlessly in an open setting, and a mass planting will stay fresh and full all season. A nice choice for full sun in the north, dappled sunlight or partial shade farther south and west.
