Summary

Campanula persicifolia, commonly known as Peachleaf Bellflower, is a deciduous perennial herb native to a variety of habitats including open woodlands, meadows, and grassy slopes across Europe and parts of Asia. It typically grows in clumps reaching 30 to 100 centimeters (12 to 39 inches) in height. The plant features erect, slightly angular stems that are usually unbranched, with basal leaves that are narrowly spatulate and tend to wither by the time of flowering. The flowers are showy, cup-shaped, and come in shades of lilac-blue or white, blooming from June to August. The foliage is narrow, glossy, and bright green, while the fruit is a conical capsule with prominent veins.

Peachleaf Bellflower is valued for its long flowering period and the delicate bell-shaped flowers that add charm to garden borders, cottage gardens, and naturalized areas. It is also used in rock gardens and as cut flowers. This plant is relatively easy to maintain and can be propagated by division or seed. It requires full sun to part shade, consistent moisture, and well-drained soil to thrive. While generally disease-resistant, it can suffer from slugs and snails. Overly wet conditions may lead to root rot.CC BY-SA 4.0
