description for "Bellflower: Campanula persicifolia 'Chettle Charm'"
The peach-leaved bellflower has been a garden mainstay for many years. This variety has an unusual color—each white flower has a blue violet-lavender edge. Not just a hint of color, but rather a very noticeable bicolor. This sought after plant will likely remain in limited availability for some years, despite its obvious desirability. Blooms from early to late summer highlighting its dark evergreen foliage on upright clumps. Best when used in a mass planting. Can be used to naturalize large areas. Remove spent flower stems to encourage rebloom. Divide in spring or fall every three to four years. Great for southern gardens.
