Notes
'Loddon Anna' bellflower (Campanula lactiflora 'Loddon Anna') is a perennial for borders and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, loamy or chalky soil. Pale pink flowers form large, conical clusters on tall stems in summer, and butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the blooms. Trim back fading flowers to encourage a second flush in late fall. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by.
Pairs well with September Charm anemone, Buckeye Belle peony, and Japanese spirea.
