From early to midsummer, the leafy, upright stems of this fast growing perennial are topped with densely packed clusters of bell-shaped flowers. If dead-headed promptly there may be a smaller, second flush.
How to care for Campanula glomerata var. alba Schneekrone:
Protect the tender foliage from slug damage using environmentally friendly slug pellets or beer traps. During the growing season water freely and apply a balanced liquid fertiliser each month. Cut back after flowering both to prevent self-seeding and to encourage a second flush of flowers.
