Product description
Campanula Alba is an elegant, highly disciplined perennial that produces crisp, pure white bellflowers, creating a magnificent, high-contrast visual anchor against dark-leaved companions. It builds a tidy, ever-expanding central crown that remains incredibly well-behaved, brilliantly illuminating partially shaded corners with a spotless, pristine floral display.
It actively demands an east-facing spot where it can bask in cool morning light while being completely protected from brutal, baking afternoon heat that would scorch its delicate white petals. You must water strictly at the soil line to keep the low-hanging bells free of mud and fungal spots, and step in with a watering can during notable dry spells. Relentlessly snapping off the fading blooms guarantees a heavily prolonged summer display.
Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Instructions
Top Tip
Pairing Campanula Alba with dark-leaved companions creates a magnificent, high-contrast visual anchor in your beds. Snipping off the fading white bells encourages the plant to maintain a much longer, continuous floral display. Divide the clump every few years to keep the central crown vigorous and bursting with fresh growth.
How to Water
Water Campanula Alba deeply right after installation to bind the amended soil strictly to its root ball. You must keep the earth relatively moist, stepping in with a watering can during any notable dry spells. Delivering water beneath the foliage guarantees the pristine white flowers remain completely spotless and free of mud.
How to Plant
Position Campanula Alba in an east-facing spot where it can bask in cool morning light without burning in the afternoon heat. Dig a wide pocket of crumbly, organic-rich soil to help it establish a tidy clumping habit quickly. Keep the crown perfectly level with the garden bed to ensure long-term structural health.
