Campanula poscharskyana (Serbian Bellflower) - Evergreen groundcover that grows to about 8 inches tall by 36 inches wide with heart-shaped, downy leaves and small, blue funnel-shaped flowers spring through fall with peak in mid-summer. Plant in part sun (will take full coastal sun) in well-drained medium-wet soil. Very hardy (root-hardy to minus 40 to 30 degrees F) and evergreen in California coastal gardens. This plant is native to the northern Balkins. The name for the Genus Campanula is derived from the Latin word 'campana' meaning "bell" in reference to the shape of the flowers. The specific epithet honors Gustav Poscharsky, a 19th century German horticulturist and Dresden city gardener who later established the Schellerhau Botanic Garden (Botanischer Garten Schellerhau) in 1906 near Altenberg in Saxony, Germany (formerly in East Germany) as his private garden. Other common names include Poscharsky's Bellflower and Trailing Bellflower. We also grow the white flowering form For more information on the species see our listing for Campanula poscharskyana 'Alba' and a hybrid of this plant with Campanula portenschlagiana that is called Campanula 'Birch Hybrid'.
