Sarastro Bellflower
Campanula
Bellflower
The definitive bellflower, Campanulas melt your heart as they ring in the summer. The genus includes nearly 300 species, from exquisite miniatures to stalwart uprights; we can’t resist including them in almost every garden design.
It’s hard to imagine how on earth ‘Kent Bells’ could be improved upon but that’s exactly what happened when this first-rate Campanula punctata and trachelium hybrid was introduced. Not as tall, more compact and slow to spread are all good reasons why ‘Sarastro’ should be invited into your garden, but add glistening 2 in. dark violet-blue bells and it becomes simply indispensable. Named for the Austrian nursery where it originated, this exceptional Bellflower boasts sturdy 20 in. spikes, laden with floral pendants that don’t need staking, and look downright gorgeous alongside yellow-flowering Centaurea ruthenica.
Blooms June–August
Size: 18" – 20" high x 18" – 2' 0" wide.
Hardy to zone 4.
