Campanulas are loved for their bell-like, usually blue flowers and long flowering season. Traditionally used in cottage garden schemes, campanulas look particularly lovely when grown under shrub roses. Campanula flowers are extremely attractive to bees and other pollinators.

Campanula takesimana 'Elizabeth' is unusual for having large red-tinged blooms. It forms a neat, compact mound from which the flowers dangle prolifically from mid- to late-summer. These last longest when grown in light shade between shrubs or taller perennials, but plants need to be near the front of a border or they tend to get lost among more vigorous flowers. It looks good grown under old-fashioned roses, in a cottage garden planting scheme or a large rock feature where the unusual blooms can stand out.

For best results, grow Campanula takesimana 'Elizabeth' in moist but well-drained soil in sun or partial shade. Stake taller growing plants, or pinch out the growing tips to reduce their height.
