Milky bellflower, Campanula lactiflora 'Prichard's Variety’, bears pretty clusters of purple-blue bell-shaped flowers, above heart-shaped green leaves, from summer to autumn. It’s perfect for growing toward the back of a border and works well in traditional or cottage garden planting schemes. Like all bellflowers, its blooms are a magnet for bees and other pollinators.

Grow Campanula lactiflora 'Prichard's Variety’ in moist but well-drained, neutral to alkaline soil, in full sun to partial shade. Deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering and mulch annually with well-rotted compost or manure. Divide congested clumps in spring or autumn.
