watering

Water Campanule À Feuilles Larges (Campanula latifolia subsp. latifolia) regularly, although not excessively. Water the plant deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. During the summer months, you may need to water the plant more often, roughly once per week. During the cooler seasons, the plant may need less water, approximately once every 2 weeks. It's important to make sure the plant is not overwatered, as the soil should remain slightly moist at all times. If you’re unsure, it is best to water less than more.

sunlight

Campanule À Feuilles Larges (Campanula latifolia subsp. latifolia) needs plenty of light to stay healthy, but too much can burn the leaves. It should be placed in a bright spot that receives full sun for at least 6-8 hours per day in spring and summer, and partial sun in fall and winter. During the hottest months of summer, when temperatures are high and the sun is strongest, some afternoon shade may be beneficial.

pruning

Campanule à Feuilles Larges (Campanula latifolia subsp. latifolia) is best pruned in late spring after flowering is complete. Pruning should involve light shaping and removal of spent blooms. Because this species has a tendency to become woody, annual pruning is recommended. Begin by snipping or pinching stems and slightly thinning, making sure to maintain a balanced shape and numerous flowering stems. Take care to only remove dead, diseased, or otherwise damaged stems. Avoid shearing or hard pruning which may lead to an open, sparse center and weakened stems.
