Campanula medium double Dark Blue – Rich, deep blue splendor for the garden and border

The Campanula medium double Dark Blue, also known as the double bellflower, is an impressive biennial that enhances any garden with its deep, intense blue color and luxuriously double flowers. This unique Campanula variety is distinguished by its double, rose-like flowers that are compact and richly filled, creating an elegant and full appearance. Thanks to its vigorous growth and long flowering period, this plant is a real eye-catcher in borders, cottage gardens, and as a cut flower.

Deep dark blue and strikingly filled

What makes the Campanula medium double Dark Blue so popular is its unique flower shape. Unlike single-flowered Campanulas, this variety has multiple layers of petals, giving the flower an almost closed, spherical appearance. The color is a deep dark blue to violet-blue, a shade that contrasts beautifully with the fresh green of the foliage and other flowering plants in the garden. This intense color retains its beauty even in sunny weather.

Growth and flowering

The Campanula medium double Dark Blue is a biennial plant. In the first year, it forms a sturdy rosette of leaves, after which it blooms profusely in the second. The flowering period usually runs from June to August. The plants reach a height of approximately 70 to 90 cm, making them ideal for the middle or back of a border. The sturdy stems bear multiple flowers per stem, creating an impressive vertical effect.

Ideal for garden and cut flower

Besides its value in the garden, this Campanula is also very suitable as a cut flower. Its long stems and long-lasting flowers make it a popular choice for bouquets and flower arrangements. In vases, the deep blue color is beautifully displayed, both in single combinations and alongside white or pink flowers. Bees and other pollinators also find this Campanula popular, making it an ecologically responsible choice.

Location and care

The Campanula medium double Dark Blue grows best in a sunny to partially shaded location. A well-drained, fertile soil is preferred. Regular watering is important, especially during dry spells, but avoid wet feet. Removing spent flowers can prolong flowering and keep the plant attractive longer. This Campanula is also fairly winter-hardy and can tolerate cooler temperatures.

Application in the garden

Thanks to its height and rich flowering, the Campanula medium double Dark Blue is perfect for:

• borders and flowerbeds

• romantic and cottage gardens

• combinations with white, pink or light purple flowers

• cut flowers and bouquets

Combined with, for example, Campanula medium double White or Pink, a classic and stylish colour play is created.
