Peach-leaved Bellflower (Campanula Persicifolia Blue) - Perfect for the cutting garden, start these Bellflower seeds and grow a wonderfully performing perennial. This Peach-leaved Bellflower, Campanula persicifolia, is an amazing cup-shaped flower that will grow on long stems reaching nearly 40 inches tall. The flowers are going to be different shades of blue. Peach-leaved Bellflower plants prefer to be grown in areas of full sun. It is very important to be sure that the soil in that location is also going to drain well.
Peach-leaved Bellflower performs well as a cut flower. Harvest the flowers when the flower buds are colored and swollen. They can live in a vase for ten days to two weeks. Campanula persicifolia starts blooming in early summer and continues thru mid summer if you deadhead spent flowers. This blue Bellflower will self-sow by dropping its own flower seeds, but is not considered troublesome. Many gardeners start Bellflower seeds in the early spring outdoors in a cold frame. Press the Campanula flower seed into the soil but do not cover it. The Peach-leaved Bellflower plants can be divided in the spring.
