General Culture:
Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Prefers some part shade in hot summer climates. Does not perform well in summer climates where night temperatures consistently remain above 70 degrees F. Needs regular moisture. Divide clumps in fall every 3-4 years. In mild summer climates, plants may rebloom in summer if spent flower stems are clipped back immediately after flowering. May spread freely by rhizomes under optimum growing conditions.
Noteworthy Characteristics:
慞ink Chimes?is a spotted bellflower cultivar that is noted for its pink flowers, strong flowering stems and compact form. It is a hybrid which originated from a cross between C. punctata f. alviflora 慛ana Alba?(seed parent) and C. punctata f. rubiflora 慍herry Bells?(pollen parent). Plants typically grow to 12?tall and to 15?wide. Large, tubular, bell-like flowers (to 2?long) are pink with reddish-purple inside spotting. Flowers droop from arching leafy stems over a long late spring to early summer bloom period. Stems rise up from basal rosettes of toothed, ovate-cordate, medium green leaves (to 2?long). U. S. Plant Patent PP13,156 issued October 29, 2002. Campanula comes from Latin and means little bell.
No serious insect or disease problems.
Uses:
Borders, rock gardens, cottage gardens, lightly shaded woodland settings or naturalized areas. Group or mass for best effect. Strong stems make this a good container plant.
