Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best results, ensure your planting site has excellent drainage, as Campanula varieties are sensitive to standing water. Incorporate grit or sharp sand into your soil if it is dense or clay-heavy. When planting, space individual plants approximately 15-20cm apart to allow the mat-forming habit to eventually join up. During the first growing season, keep the soil consistently moist but never soggy. Once established, this plant is relatively drought-tolerant. In late autumn, you can tidy up the plant by removing spent flower stems to encourage stronger growth in the following year.
