Campanula punctata
‘Cherry Bells’
at Digging Dog
Bellflower
The definitive bellflower, Campanulas melt your heart as they ring in the summer. The genus includes nearly 300 species, from dainty miniatures to stalwart uprights; we can’t resist using them in almost every garden design. Campanulas prefer filtered sun inland, full sun on the coast. Campanula punctata ‘Cherry Bells’ 
Not one person has passed by this plant in our
garden without stopping to admire its extraordinary bell-shaped cherry-red flowers, which are neatly edged in white. Brightened by pale, purple-spotted throats, they can extend over 3 in. If the timing is right, onlookers will also notice the unusual
ridged buds, fastened by long, narrow green calyxes.
The ample-sized, pendulous blooms and buds are
especially striking against the backdrop of somewhat
triangular, serrated green leaves.
Blooms July–mid-October. Size: 20"–2' high x 2' wide; hardy to zone 5. Campanula punctata Cherry Bells (P-0790)
Each $6.50
