Campanula lactiflora
'Loddon Anna' Bellflower
Campanulas, or bellflowers, have been stock plants
in perennial borders for years, and for many good reasons. Members of this genus
often have a free flowering nature, long bloom times, and flowers in colors
that seem to go with everything. Campanula lactiflora 'Loddon Anna' has
all of these wonderful characteristics, and grows to a manageable 30" in
height.
Bellflower covered in masses of
pinkish-white flowers.
A native to Caucasia, Campanula lactiflora
is hardy to USDA zone 5. Campanula lactiflora 'Loddon Anna'
will grow in any well-drained soil of average fertility, in sun
to light shade. C. lactiflora 'Loddon Anna' is currently
flowering outside the northern office door of the Talcott Greenhouse.
