Special Characteristics It is worthy to note that Campanula glomerata tolerates drought. This herbaceous perennial attracts hummingbirds and butterflies to your garden.
Cautions With its fast growth rate, Campanula glomerata (clustered bellflower) will reach its mature size quickly. Keep this in mind when planning the layout of your garden. Reaching maturity quickly can be a benefit if you want your garden to look more established sooner. Be advised that Campanula glomerata (clustered bellflower) may be invasive where conditions are favourable. In such cases it will require maintenance to keep it under control. This plant is self-sowing, and without intervention may spread broadly and randomly.
