Over the years, we have killed several campanula and discarded others, but along the way we found some real gems for the garden, which we present below. We hope you enjoy our Campanula selections as much as we do.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eCampanula are late spring and summer flowering perennials that prefer partial sun. Although most perform best in slightly moist soil, some of our campanula offerings are very drought-tolerant. Campanula produce bell-shaped flowers that attract hummingbirds and butterflies. This feature is so emblematic, that plant taxonomists have even coined the word \"campanulate\" to mean any bell-shaped flower.
