Perfect for pollinators

Nettle Leaved Bellflower -campanula trachelium–is a wildflower that looks best grown in the shade of a woodland setting or under a hedgerow. Unlike most woodland plants it is late flowering so is useful for providing late summer colour in shady areas. In gardens it can be grown under fences, hedges or walls and will tolerate quite dry soils. Plants have nettle- like leaves and produce beautiful bell-shaped blue flowers from July to September attracting bees.

How to grow Nettle Leaved Bellflower Seeds
Nettle Leaved Bellflower seeds should be sown in autumn, either outside, where they are to flower, or in seed trays and covered very lightly with compost. Trays should be left outside over winter and germination will normally occur the following spring.

RHS Perfect for Pollinators.
The RHS Perfect for Pollinators mark is only given to plants that support pollinating insects in gardens. Bees, butterflies, moths, hoverflies and many others visit flowers to feed on nectar and pollen; while doing so they transfer pollen and increase seed set and fruit development.
