BENEFITS
Lovely cascading habit and reasonably drought tolerant.

Although some members of this genus have upright stems and flowers, 'Blue Waterfall' belongs to a group of Bellflowers or Campanulas that are low, mat-forming creepers. 'Blue Waterfall' is aptly named since a profusion of blue flowers flows from the center of the plant.

BLOOM SEASON & HABIT
Low mounds of light green foliage covered with dark blue bell-shaped flowers in summer with some repeat bloom in fall. Low-growing, vigorous spreading habit.

LOCATION
Full sun to partial shade. USDA Hardiness Zones 4 to 7; AHS Heat Zones 7 to 4. See our Growing Zones page to reference growing zones in your area.

USE
Plant in front of borders or island beds. Excellent specimen plant for rock garden walls, patio container, window boxes or hanging baskets. Combines nicely under other perennials like Chamomile (Anthemis), Coreopsis (try Coreopsis 'Golden Gain'), Helen's Flower (try Helenium 'Coppelia') and Black-Eyed Susan (try Rudbeckia 'Viette's Little Suzy').

SIZE
8" to 10" tall by 24" wide. Use 4 plants per square yard

CULTURE
Prefers average well-drained soils. Plants can spread rapidly, so place plants where they can be allowed to grow. Reasonably drought tolerant once established. Divide plants in spring or fall every two to three years. Also see our General Planting Tips for more information.
