General Information

Campanulas, also known as bellflowers, are a diverse group of hardy perennials, and the Adansa® range is specially bred for trailing, floriferous growth.

• Habit: Low-growing, trailing perennial with spreading stems.

• Height & spread: Grows around 15–20cm tall and 30–40cm wide; trailing stems spill beautifully over edges.

• Foliage: Small, fresh green leaves form a neat background for the blooms.

• Flowers: Masses of small, star-shaped flowers in vibrant purple.

• Flowering season: May to August, with the potential for repeat flushes into early autumn if well cared for.

• Position: Prefers full sun to light partial shade for maximum flowering.

• Soil: Well-drained, moderately fertile soil; thrives in containers with a quality multipurpose compost.

• Hardiness: Fully hardy in the UK and Ireland; foliage may die back in winter but regrows in spring.

• Uses: Perfect for hanging baskets, patio containers, window boxes, rockeries, and as edging or groundcover.

This compact but vigorous bellflower provides brilliant summer colour in a versatile and easy-to-use form.

Care Guide

Campanula ‘Adansa® Purple’ is straightforward to grow and will reward you with masses of flowers when given the right care.

Planting

• When to plant: Best in spring once the risk of frost has passed, though it can be planted year-round in containers.

• Depth & spacing: Plant at the same depth as in the pot; space 25–30cm apart to allow trailing stems to spread.

• Containers: Ideal for pots and baskets – use fresh, free-draining compost and ensure good drainage holes.

Watering & Feeding

• Keep soil consistently moist during the growing season, especially in containers and baskets, which dry out quickly.

• Avoid waterlogging, as roots can rot in soggy compost.

• Feed every 2–3 weeks with a balanced liquid fertiliser during flowering to encourage continuous blooms.

Pruning & Maintenance

• Deadhead regularly to prolong flowering and encourage fresh blooms.

• Trim back trailing stems after the first flush of flowers to promote new growth and a second wave of colour.

• In autumn, cut back old stems and allow foliage to die down naturally.

Protection

• Fully hardy, but in very cold regions or exposed pots, protect with fleece or move containers to a sheltered position.

• Generally pest- and disease-free, though slugs and snails may nibble tender shoots in spring.
