Plant Spacing

Plant spacing is based on the ultimate width of the plants. This figure is normally given as a range; for example, 3-5’. If you live in a cold climate and/or want plants to fill in more quickly, plan to space at the shorter end of the range. If you live in a warm climate, are on a limited budget, or are willing to wait longer for plants to touch, use the higher end of the range. Using the larger number is recommended when calculating distance from a building or structure. There’s really no such thing as "maximum spacing": if you don’t want your plants to touch, you can space them as far apart as you’d like. All plant spacing is calculated on center, or in other words, the centers of the plants are spaced one half of their eventual width apart:

bush distance

Unless you are planting in a straight line, as you might for hedges or edging, space your plants in a staggered or zig-zag pattern for a more interesting and naturalistic look:

More Information

Description Rapido Blue bellflower (Campanula carpatica) brings a wealth of color and charm to the garden. It grows in a compact, low cushion mound of small green leaves with wavy edges. By early summer, cup-shaped "open bells" completely smother the foliage. These soft blue flowers bloom four weeks earlier than other Campanulas and last throughout summer. Rapido Blue bellflower is an ideal sun perennial groundcover. It's low maintenance and deer resistant, making it easy to grow, even for beginners. Tuck it in the front of the border, in front of shrubs, containers, rock gardens, or any other small spaces! Details How To Grow

Rapido Blue Bellflower Campanula

1 of the 2 plants died within a few days of receiving.

Thank you for your feedback! It’s surprisingly normal for newly transplanted plants to appear like they aren’t growing. That’s because most of the growth occurs below ground in their first year as they allocate more energy to root development. Once your plant is established, it will start investing more in shoot and flower development.
