Looking after your Campanula
These lovely bellflowers flower all summer long with very little care. They can be enjoyed indoors for a few weeks but long term will do best outdoors, or in a cool room or porch.
Outdoors you probably can allow the rain to do your watering, but try to make sure the soil is kept damp in hot weather and that your campanula does not sit in a puddle if it is very wet. If you are keeping your campanula indoors, aim to keep the compost damp not dry or soggy.
These campanulas have recently been potted up so should have plenty of nutrients to keep them going for the first month. After that a general purpose plant or houseplant food will keep them looking fresh and producing new flowers right through the summer and into the autumn.
You can pinch out the spent flowers as they die off to keep your plant looking tidy and to encourage more growth and if you have a nice sunny spot in the garden you might decide to plant it out. If you do this don’t be alarmed when the foliage dies off with the frost, new shoots will emerge again in the spring.
