General Information:
Campanula, also known as the Bellflower, is a perennial plant that belongs to the Campanulaceae family. It is native to the temperate regions of Europe and Asia and is highly valued for its vibrant bell-shaped flowers and delicate foliage.
The ideal soil for Bellflowers is well-draining and rich in organic matter. A mixture of loam, sand, and compost will provide the perfect balance of nutrients and moisture retention. It's important to water the plant consistently, keeping the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged.
