“The inspiration for this garden design was a visit to a friend’s home in late May and seeing Campanula Blue Waterfall blooming in full glory under a row of Boxwood shrubs.” —Susan Martin, MidWest Region Garden Design Expert

Description

Walking up the brick sidewalk it looked just like the Boxwood had a pretty blue skirt. Campanula Blue Waterfall is an exceptional long-lived perennial that would add a burst of late spring and early summer color around any accent shrub in a sunny to semi sunny location.
