General Information

Campanulas, also known as bellflowers, are a diverse group of perennials and biennials celebrated for their starry or bell-shaped flowers. The Ambella® series has been developed for continuous blooming, neat growth, and outstanding colour.

• Habit: Compact, cushion-forming perennial with trailing stems.

• Height & spread: Typically 15–25cm tall and 20–30cm wide.

• Foliage: Small, fresh green leaves forming a dense mound.

• Flowers: Masses of bell-shaped blooms in a rich, intense purple shade.

• Flowering season: May to August, often continuing into early autumn with deadheading.

• Position: Prefers full sun to partial shade; flowers best with at least 4–6 hours of sunlight.

• Soil: Fertile, moist but well-drained soil or high-quality compost in containers.

• Hardiness: Hardy perennial, though best treated as semi-evergreen in cold regions.

• Uses: Excellent for pots, hanging baskets, borders, window boxes, and as groundcover.

Its compact size, coupled with its profusion of flowers, makes this a plant that works equally well in formal designs or casual cottage-style gardens.

Care Guide

Campanula ‘Ambella® Intense Purple’ is easy to care for and rewards even minimal attention with long-lasting blooms.

Planting

• When to plant: Best in spring after the risk of frost, or in early summer.

• Depth & spacing: Plant at the same depth as in the pot; space 20–25cm apart.

• Containers: Perfect for pots and baskets – use multipurpose compost with added grit for drainage.

Watering & Feeding

• Keep soil consistently moist, especially in containers.

• Avoid waterlogging – ensure pots have good drainage.

• Feed every 2–3 weeks in the flowering season with a balanced liquid fertiliser to promote continuous blooms.

Pruning & Maintenance

• Deadhead regularly to encourage repeat flowering and maintain a tidy display.

• Lightly trim trailing stems after flowering to refresh growth.

• Remove any yellowing foliage at the base to keep plants neat.

• In borders, mulch around plants in spring to help conserve soil moisture.

Protection

• Fully hardy in most UK regions but may die back in very harsh winters – regrowth occurs in spring.

• Container plants may need some protection in prolonged frosts; move to a sheltered spot if needed.

• Generally pest-free, though slugs may nibble young growth in damp conditions.
