Description
The peach-leaved bellflower is a charming flower that brings elegance and beauty to the garden.
The white flowers of the 'Alba' variety create a striking contrast with the green leaves.
Campanula persicifolia is a fairy-tale-like, perennial plant for borders and flower beds.
As a wild perennial and an excellent forage plant for various beneficial insects, it is also suitable for naturalistic gardens.
Starting in June, its beautiful bell-shaped flowers appear, elegantly rising above lower perennials. The flower spikes are excellent as cut flowers for vases. The flowers harmonize wonderfully with the colours of roses, making the peach-leaved bellflower an excellent companion plant for roses.
Great masterwort, foxglove, coneflower, garden sage, and larkspur are very suitable companion plants, to name just a few.
