Campanula carpatica var turbinata ‘Jewel’ (Carpathian Bellflower) is a low-growing perennial forming a neat mound of toothed and rounded mid-green leaves. In early summer, large, dark violet-blue, upward-facing flowers are borne on short stalks just above the foliage. They are produced in such quantities that they nearly cover the entire plant. This plant will continue blooming for weeks, until early fall, if spent blossoms are regularly deadheaded. This charming Carpathian Bellflower is perfect for rock gardens, at the front of perennial borders, or massed as a groundcover.

  • Grows up to 4-6 in. tall (10-15 cm) and 12 in. wide (30 cm). Although this plant self-sows in favorable conditions, it is not invasive and remains well-behaved in the garden.
  • Thrives in full sun or part shade in average, medium, well-drained soils. Prefers part shade in warmer climates.
  • Ideal for garden edging, groundcover, underplanting shrubs or roses, cottage gardens, city gardens, rock gardens, or containers.
  • Easy to grow, virtually disease and pest free, this low-care perennial is also rabbit resistant.
  • Propagate by seed or basal cuttings
  • Plants should be divided every 2 to 4 years, in spring or fall.
