Campanula pyramidalis Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: Succeeds in most fertile well-drained soils[233], though it prefers a moist but very well-drained rich sandy loam and a neutral or alkaline soil in full sun[1, 200]. Plants are impatient of drought and of too much sunshine[221]. This species is not hardy in the colder areas of the country, it tolerates temperatures down to between -5 and -10°c[200]. Plants are best grown in a greenhouse in Britain, they are seldom fully happy outdoors and do not usually open their flowers properly[221]. The species in this genus do not often hybridize and so seed can generally be relied upon to come true[221]. The plants are self-fertile[221]. A short-lived perennial[200], it is best grown from seed as a biennial or propagated each year from the non-flowering side rosettes[221]. The woody roots will usually persist for some years so long as the plant is in a well-drained soil and a sunny position[233]. This species is closely related to C. versicolor. There are several named forms selected for their ornamental value[200]. The cultivar 'Alba' is used as an altar flower in its native regions, this cultivar demands an especially well-drained soil and is less hardy than the type[200]. Members of this genus are rarely if ever troubled by browsing deer[233]. For further Campanula pyramidalis gardening information |
