Campanula sarmatica
The Bellflower, or Campanula Sarmatica, is truly amazing. Native to eastern Europe, it produces charming purple and blue bell-shaped blooms on slender stems. It is a long-living perennial, returning year after year to reward gardeners with its breathtaking beauty. Not only is the plant part of exquisite landscapes and meadows, but its blooms are also larger and more abundant than many other species of similar height. The Bellflower can tolerate extreme temperatures, from low winter nights to hot summer days. It is also drought tolerant and thrives in poor soil conditions. Plus, it repels deer, rabbits, and other common garden pests. All in all, its stunning beauty and low-maintenance nature make the Bellflower an incomparable addition to any garden.
