General Culture:
Easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Prefers part shade in warmer climates. Does not do well when night temperatures in summer remain consistently above 70 F degrees, although this cultivar has better heat tolerance than many of the other campanulas. Needs regular moisture. Divide clumps in fall every 3-4 years. Under ideal growing condition, plants can be quite aggressive, spreading both by self-seeding and by underground runners (rhizomes).
Noteworthy Characteristics:
This Campanula cultivar is an upright, clump-forming perennial which typically grows 1.5-2' tall on erect stems with rounded, toothed, medium green foliage. Large, drooping, tubular, pale pink flowers (1" long) appear in profusion in summer.

No serious insect or disease problems. Slugs and snails can be an occasional problem.
Uses:
This cultivar provides color and contrast to the perennial border or rock garden or naturalized area. Also effective in a lightly shaded woodland setting. Needs to be planted in groups for best effect. Plant where spreading will not pose threats to valued plants.
