Description
Campanula lactiflora 'Loddon Anna'
Height x Spread: 120cm x 90cm
Tall branching stems bear clusters of dusky-pink bell shaped flowers throughout the summer months. This self-seeding, Milky Bellflower is happy to grow in partial shade and will even withstand a little sun during the day, a free-draining yet moisture retentive soil is ideal, applying a layer of mulch will help keep this hungry plant looking good - avoid planting this Campanula in acidic conditions.
The perfect choice for a cottage garden where its seedlings can be allowed to grow on where desired. On exposed sites staking may be required.
