CREEPING RAMPION BELLFLOWER
SKU: 2294-030
Campanula rapunculoides, known by the common names creeping bellflower, rampion bellflower, rover bellflower, garden bluebell, creeping bluebell, purple bell, garden harebell, and creeping campanula, is a perennial herbaceous plant of the genus Campanula. It is is native to Europe and western Siberia, where it grows in semi-shaded areas like open woods, the edges of denser forests, and meadowland, and is naturalized in Australia, New Zealand, North America and South America.
Campanula rapunculoides reaches on average 30–80 centimetres (12–31 in) of height, with a maximum of 120 centimetres (47 in). The flowering period extends from June through September. The flowers are pollinated by insects (bees, flies, butterflies, etc.).
It grows on grassy places, dry hills, meadows, in deciduous and pine forests, woods, fields and roadsides, along railway lines and hedgerows, preferably in partial shade, in dry to moist sites and on clay soils, relatively rich in nitrogen.
In much of North America this plant is considered invasive, and we do not recommend growing it if you live near wilderness areas or any areas where is could possibly spread.
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zones: 3-9
Height: 100cm, 40"
Location: Sun or part shade
Seeds per pack: 30
Germination: Sow the seeds on the surface a seed-start mix and water in. Do not bury the seeds as they require light to germinate. Keep lightly moist and do not let the soil dry out. Keep at 20-22 °C, 68-72 °F. Seeds germinate in 20-60 days, though some could take up to 90 days.
