Campanula 'Lilac Sky'
A delightful bellflower producing masses of soft lilac blooms that bring weeks of colour to the summer garden.
Campanula 'Lilac Sky' forms a neat mound of green foliage covered in upward-facing, starry lilac flowers throughout summer. The soft pastel blooms create a gentle, cottage garden feel and are highly attractive to bees and other pollinating insects. Flowering generously over a long period, it provides a valuable splash of colour at the front of borders and in smaller garden spaces.
Thriving in full sun or partial shade, this easy-going perennial is well suited to a wide range of garden conditions. Its compact habit makes it ideal for edging borders, growing among other perennials or softening pathways. Regular deadheading helps encourage further flowering and keeps plants looking tidy throughout the season.
