* Campanula hybride ‘Birch Hybrid’

This dwarf selection is a terrific choice for rock gardens, edging, and particularly for tubs or mixed containers. Plants form a trailing mound of small green leaves, bearing sprays of bright purple bell flowers for many weeks in early summer. Divide every two years, in spring or fall. Consider contrasting ‘Birch Hybrid’ with Coreopsis ‘Moonbeam’ or growing as a carpet beneath Lilies. Removing spent flowers will greatly increase the flowering time. This trailing selection will not become a troublesome spreader. Optimal Growing Conditions: Appearance and Characteristics. Sun Exposure ;Full Sun or Partial Shade.

* Campanula hybride cv. 'Kent Belle'

The new cultivar ‘Purple Sensation’ is most similar in plant habit and flower form to the cultivar Campanula ‘Kent Belle’ (unpatented), a hybrid between Campanula takesimana and Campanula latifolia and ‘Kent Belle’ is presumed to be of similar origin. ‘Purple Sensation’ differs from ‘Kent Belle’ in having darker green foliage, darker purple flowers and a shorter plant height. Ref.:Google - Patents. 'Kent Belle' is an upright, clump-forming perennial which typically grows 18-28“ tall. Large, drooping, tubular, glossy violet, bell-like flowers (to 2” long) with inside spotting appear in terminal racemes atop erect to slightly arching stems. Stems rise up from basal rosettes of rounded, toothed, medium green leaves (to 5“ long). Long late spring to early summer bloom. Light rebloom may occur in autumn. Borders, rock gardens, cottage gardens, lightly shaded woodland settings or naturalized areas. Group or mass for best effect. Easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Prefers part shade in hot summer climates. Does not do well when night temperatures do not consistently cool down below 70 degrees F. Needs regular moisture. Plants may be cut back to basal foliage after bloom. Divide clumps in fall every 3-4 years. Spreads freely by rhizomes under optimum growing conditions. This cultivar is sterile and accordingly will not self-seed.¹¹⁾ Hybrid Bellflower - USDA Zone: 4-9, Plant number: 1.110.750. This tall selection is perfect for the sun or part-shade border. Plants form a mound of dark green leaves, bearing upright stems with huge drooping bells in a rich deep-purple shade. Plan to give this space. Easily divided in spring or fall. Stems will need to be staked. Combines beautifully with Cranesbill Geraniums, Phlox or Hosta. Also excellent in containers or tubs. Removing spent flowers will increase blooming time.

* Campanula hybride cv. 'Sarastro'

A clumping, hybrid bellflower (reportedly Campanula punctata x Campanula trachelium) noted for producing deep blue bell-shaped flowers on slowly-spreading, compact plants that typically rise to 20-26” tall and as wide. Large, shiny, tubular flowers (to 2.5” long) are deep blue to purple blue. Flowers droop from leafy stems over a long mid to late summer bloom. Stems rise up from basal rosettes of medium green leaves. Campanula comes from Latin and means little bell.

Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Prefers some part shade in hot summer climates. Plants need regular moisture. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage additional bloom. Divide clumps in fall every 3-4 years. Plants may spread by rhizomes under optimum growing conditions, but not as aggressively as is the case with Campanula punctata. ¹⁵⁾

Campanula 'Spring Bell® Blue' was created by crossing various Campanula species. The goal of the breeding programme was to create the perfect deep blue Campanula. Several years’ work by some of the best breeders in the world led to this new deep blue Campanula variety. By crossing Campanula species the best of their qualities have come together in 'Spring Bell'®. After 'Spring Bell® Blue', in 2013 a white one - 'Spring Bell® White' - is also to be introduced.

Campanula 'Spring Bell® Blue' bright blue flowers, dark green foliage. Because of its sterile flowers don’t set seed, 'Spring Bell'® keeps flowering abundantly over a long period and can be kept both indoors and outdoors. Once the plant has finished flowering indoors, it can be planted in a sunny or partly shaded spot in the garden. The natural flowering period is June, but it can produce a second flush of flowers in September. It is winter-hardy and will surprise you again the following year with its splendid display of flowers!

* Campanula 'Blythe Spirit' - Locality: New Zealand - Dunedin - Photographer: Graham Nicholls - Note: This white flowered cultivar was raisd by Lesley Cox of Gala Plants, Dunedin from seed collected from Campanula 'Maie Blyth'. Propagation is from cuttings in spring. * Campanula 'Rick Lupp' - Locality: England - Timsbury - Photographer: Graham Nicholls - Note: This is a plant raised from seed collected form Campanula raineri in my alpine house. It is difficult to work out which plant it crossed with. The flowers are of a deep blue and formed as Campanula raineri but the growth is more vigorous. I named it 'Rick Lupp' after my very good friend who is proprietor of Mt. Tahoma Nursery in Graham, Washington State, USA. * Campanula 'Timsbury Perfection' - Photographer: Graham Nicholls - Note: A plant raised by myself from seed of the dwarf Campanula rotundifolia ssp. arctica 'Mt. Jotunheimen several years ago. It is perfection in blooming as well as growing well in the garden. It was given a PC in 2001. * Campanula ? sp 'Margaret Brine' - Locality: Europe - Photographer: Graham Nicholls -Note: This campanula was given to me in February 2011 as a small potted up piece from a garden and described as being a beautiful colour break. Having now grown it to flowering size I fully agree. Although it has the cultivar name 'Margaret Brine' I am trying to identify the species which at first sight to me seems to be Campanula pulla but all suggestions are welcome. Hopefully we will get a better ID soon. It will make a lovely show plant. Identification: asked.
