Bellflower 'Pink Octopus', 'Pink Octopus' Bellflower
A very unusual Bellflower, Campanula ‘Pink Octopus’ is a semi-evergreen, spreading perennial noted for its nodding, Japanese lantern buds opening in a striking, soft pink, octopus-like flower, with long and elegant spidery petals. Blooming from early to mid-summer, the flowers are massed on upright stems, up to 50 per branch, above the deeply cut foliage. Vigorous and heat tolerant, this remarkable Bellflower is perfect for the front of sunny borders, containers, or as a groundcover.
