Good plant #97 - Campanula Poscharskyana


This is the vigorous blue flowering plant you see growing in stone/ brick walls with cracks and and in crevices on paths.

It likes free draining soil and a sunny-ish site but will grow virtually anywhere. If you want to grow it to cascade down a wall, plant it towards the top/ on the top of the wall in some fertile soil (to get it off to a good start) and its roots will then find the moisture and nutrient in the cracks. It will not take long to cascade down.

This plant will self seed. You can also divide it in spring.
