Campanula Punctata f. Rubriflora – Spotted Bellflower also known as ‘Cherry Bells’, is a showy, clump- forming plant with long-hanging cherry-red bells, that have cream-colored edges outside, and purple freckles inside. These flowers are borne in terminal racemes atop erect arching stems. This eye-catching flower is one that any gardener would be proud to showcase. Growing graceful arching stems on heart-shaped foliage on a rhizome, with long, hanging cherry red bells to creamy white edges and purple freckles inside. These plants have a blooming season ranging from early to midsummer and will grow between 12 – 24 inches tall. They can be grown in either full sun or part shade, however they prefer part shade in warmer climates. It’s important for them to have well-drained soils, and they need regular moisture.

I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine, Florida. All seed are NOT alike! There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right!
SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!!
ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME.
DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL.
Good Luck and Happy Planting!!!!
