Campanula glomerata – 2026

Description

Campanula glomerata, commonly known as clustered bellflower, is a hardy, perennial plant valued for its dense clusters of upright, bell-shaped purple flowers that appear in summer. These striking blooms rise above clumps of coarse green foliage, providing strong vertical accents and long-lasting colour in borders, wildflower gardens, and naturalistic plantings. Its nectar-rich flowers are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, making it a beneficial choice for wildlife-friendly gardens.

Thriving in full sun to partial shade with moist, well-drained soil, Campanula glomerata is adaptable and robust, though it may require division every few years to maintain vigour. Low-maintenance and hardy, it performs well in a wide range of garden conditions, from borders to meadow-style settings. Its combination of bold flowers, clump-forming habit, and pollinator appeal ensures it is both decorative and ecologically valuable.
