Spotted Bellflower Campanula punctata

Spotted Bellflower, is an upright, clump-forming perennial which typically grows 1-2' tall.  This showy plant is native to Sibera, China, and Japan. The bell-shaped flowers that have spots in the inside are represented in its Latin name as campana means bell and punctata means spotted. Campanula, in general, may be annuals, herbaceous or evergreen perennials, with a bell or star-shaped, often blue, flowers in late spring or summer.  Plant in well-drained soil and in full sun to partial shade (though in warm southern summers, it prefers partial shade). To propagate this plant, divide its clumps every three to four years in the fall, or with adequate growing conditions, it will self-seed and spread by rhizomes itself.

The flowers and leaves are used as potherbs. Plant it in mass or small groups to take advantage of its large showy flowers.  It is at home in woodland borders, rock or cottage gardens as an accent plant, or let it naturalize.

Insects, Diseases, and Other Plant Problems:  This plant has few insect and disease problems.  It can spread aggressively.
