Packaging: We work with the best German, Spanish, Dutch and Chilean seed suppliers, which allows us to offer you Campánula seeds collected and packaged in 2024, guaranteeing their freshness and a high percentage of germination.
Growing time: Campanula is a plant that flowers from late spring to summer. Depending on the species and growing conditions, plants may begin to flower approximately 10 to 12 weeks after sowing.
Special Features: Campanula is known for its bell-shaped flowers, which hang in clusters or singly, creating an elegant, natural effect in any garden. Plants range in size from dwarf varieties ideal for rock gardens, to taller species perfect for mixed borders. In addition to their ornamental beauty, Campanula are attractive to pollinators such as bees and butterflies, contributing to a healthy, biodiverse garden.
Lighting: Prefers full sun or partial shade. In warmer climates, bellflowers appreciate partial shade during the hottest hours of the day to prevent the flowers from wilting prematurely.
Watering: Campanula requires regular watering to keep the soil evenly moist, but well drained. It is important to avoid waterlogging, as the roots can be susceptible to rot in poorly drained soil.
Pests: Campanulas are generally resistant to pests, although they can occasionally be affected by aphids and snails. The use of environmentally friendly products, such as potassium soap and Neem oil, is recommended to keep pests under control.
Cold hardiness: Campanula is fairly cold hardy and can withstand light frosts, making it an excellent choice for temperate climates. In regions with harsher winters, it is recommended to protect the plants with mulch.
Substrate: A well-drained, organic-rich substrate is recommended. Campanulas prefer slightly acidic to neutral soils and grow best in fertile soils that retain some moisture without being waterlogged.
Harvest: Campanula flowers are ideal for cutting and using in floral arrangements due to their unique shape and delicate colors. To maintain continuous blooming, cut off spent flowers regularly.
Shipping: All shipments are made through Bluespress. Check out our growing manuals on our website: www.arcademendel.com .
