Campanula 'Caroline' is an exciting, and relatively new variety. Its common name is clustered bellflower, which is exactly what it is – a slowly-spreading perennial, with upright, dense, clustered heads of tiny, lilac, bell-shaped flowers. The colouring fades in time to pink, then white. These flowers are set in perfect contrast to the fresh, almost olive-green leaves. Campanula glomerata 'Caroline' is the perfect plant for growing as ground cover in a sunny or partly shaded border. Like all forms of campanula, its blooms are nectar- and pollen-rich, so are loved by bees, butterflies/moths and other pollinators!

It’s a slow-grower, best planted and then left to slowly spread. It likes a moist but well-drained soil. Divide congested clumps in spring or autumn. In fact, this hardy perennial campanula is so highly regarded by experts, that the Royal Horticultural Society has given it the coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit.
