Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.

  • Description

  • Notes

Also called peach-leaved bellflower, this campanula grows as about 18 to 30 inches tall and 12 to 18 inches wide. The foliage forms a mound of green, peach-leaf or willow-like leaves that reach about half the height of the plant. Tall stems with bell-shaped flowers in shades of white to blue bloom late spring to early summer. There are a number of named cultivars, and they are all well suited to the perennial border.
