Design Ideas | Mat-like campanulas are versatile in gardens. Dense growth makes an excellent groundcover that is popular for flagstone steppers framed by its bright green and blue blooms. It's an old fashioned lawn edging and is excellent for filling out bare ground in the filtered shade of tree groves. Many old homes feature this plant in foundation plantings where it grows up to the trunks shrubs and presses against building wall foundations. They are a fine addition to Japanese gardens around rocks and boulders. Use them to disguise ugly pond edges or exposed concrete in rock waterfalls. |
