Campanula trachelium 'Bernice' - 2026

Campanula trachelium 'Bernice' is a hardy, perennial plant valued for its tall, upright stems bearing clusters of large, violet-purple, bell-shaped flowers that bloom in mid to late summer. The flowers rise above coarse, green foliage, adding height, structure, and vibrant colour to borders, cottage gardens, and naturalistic plantings. Its nectar-rich blooms attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, providing both ornamental appeal and wildlife benefits.

Thriving in full sun to partial shade with moist, well-drained soil, Campanula trachelium 'Bernice' is hardy, reliable, and low-maintenance. Staking may be needed in exposed locations to support the taller stems, and deadheading faded flowers can encourage further blooming. Its combination of bold, long-lasting flowers, upright habit, and pollinator-friendly nature makes it an excellent choice for mixed borders, wildlife gardens, or as a structural feature in summer displays.
