Campanule Gantelée

Campanula trachelium subsp. trachelium

Campanule Gantelée (Campanula trachelium subsp. trachelium) is an upright perennial flowering plant native to Europe, north Africa, and Asia. It has stout stems, oval-shaped leaves with edge fringes, and blue bell-shaped flowers with protruding styles. The flowers are arranged in terminal racemes making them highly noticeable. The height ranges from 40–70 cm and the genus name, Campanula, is derived from the Latin for bell - campana. It prefers moist sites, and is often found in grassy meadows and along roadsides. This is an excellent choice for naturalizing in gardens, providing much needed vertical structure to the garden. It is easy to grow and will thrive in full sun or in light shade.

watering

Campanule à feuilles de Pêcher prefers moist but well-drained soil and regular watering. It needs to be watered roughly 1-2 times per week, allowing the soil to dry between watering. During hot weather and in summer, Campanue à feuilles de Pêcher will need more water, so you may need to increase the frequency or amount of watering. When watering, it is best to water thoroughly until water starts to run off from the drainage holes, and then wait a day or 2 for the soil to dry out. If the soil appears dry and wilted, it may be time to water again.

sunlight

Campanule À Feuilles De Pêcher (Campanula persicifolia subsp. persicifolia) prefers full-sun to partial shade, preferably during the morning. The plants enjoy at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day, but can tolerate up to 8 hours in mild climates. However, this plant species should be provided shade during the hottest part of the day, particularly from mid-afternoon onward.

pruning

The best time to prune a Campanule à Feuilles de Pêcher (Campanula persicifolia subsp. persicifolia) is in the spring, when there is little danger of frost damage. Prune in the fall after the plant has finished flowering. The amount of pruning should be limited to removing any dead or damaged growth and shaping the plant. An overall hard pruning is generally not necessary for this plant species. To prevent legginess, lightly prune the plant every couple of years, shaping it into an attractive ball or mound shape. This will encourage bushy growth and promotes abundant flowering.
