Product description
Campanula Prichard's Variety is a highly reliable, mid-border clumping perennial that erupts into a spectacular, concentrated display of deep violet-blue flowers. It expands predictably from a neat central crown without aggressively taking over, providing unmatched, intense mid-summer colour while acting as a vital, high-traffic feeding station for foraging bumblebees and beneficial garden insects.
This bellflower is exceptionally accommodating and will happily adapt to most standard, neutral garden soils in either full sun or partial shade. You must maintain a reliable watering schedule, ensuring the roots never dry out completely, or the vibrant blooms will crisp and drop. Keeping a pair of snips handy to relentlessly remove spent bells stops seed production, and dividing the established clump every three years instantly rejuvenates the plant.
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.
