Campanula persicifolia--Peachleaf Bellflower
Hardiness Zones: 4 to 10
Height: 36 in Spacing: 18 in
Type: herbaceous perennial
Flowers: Blue, white
Comments: Peach-leaved Bellflower bears blue or white, 1-
and 1/2-inch flowers (Vis. 1). The flowers are borne in
summer and may be single, double, or semi-double depending
on the cultivar grown. Seed grown plants are quite
variable. The plant prefers sun or partial shade. Division
must be done often enough to prevent plant deterioration.
Propagation: Division may be done in spring or fall.
Seed may be planted outdoors in late spring or early
summer with flowering occurring the following year. The
seed is fine and may be hard to handle. Seed planted
indoors germinates in 2 to 3 weeks.

'Blue' - Sky blue flowers on 30-inch stems.
'Chettle Charm' - White flowers become pale blue at the
