Teacup Collection

Campanula 'Delft Teacups' Carpathian Bellflower

Common Name: Carpathian Bellflower, Carpathian Harebell

Carpathian Bellflowers are popular for a reason-they nicely fill the front of the border without spreading, and their bold colors brighten up the garden when they are in bloom. Just like the Delftware pottery that originated in the Netherlands, this petite perennial has bicolor flowers of blue and white. Although the size of the plant is small, the 1½" flowers are very large for its size. Use in rock gardens, along pathways and patios, or in combination perennial containers.
