Notes
'Odessa' clustered bellflower (Campanula glomerata 'Odessa') is a perennial for borders, pollinator gardens, cottage gardens, and rock gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. It forms a clump of dark purple flowers that bloom in late spring and again in early to late summer. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Spiked speedwell, Pyrethrum, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
