Campanula“ Sarastro”

One of my favorite spring perennials is Campanula ‘Sarastro’…here is a recent image from the garden. Campanulas are a struggle for us…they either die in our summer heat or take over the garden. One notable exception is the hybrid Campanula ‘Sarastro’, which we’ve grown since 2003, and it just gets better each year. This gem came from Austria’s Sarastro nursery. Coincidentally, we are fortunate to have Sarastro Nursery founder Christian Kress’s amazing daughter Kata, interning with us this summer. It’s been a great opportunity for us both to learn from each other.11887985_10153618019163203_1945819917940317430_N

  1. 我今年春天在五月开放式房屋购买了这件事,到目前为止,它一直是我花园里最渴的植物。它在几只柿子树下,提供了一些阴影,但是从清晨到下午中旬,它会阳光明媚。这比其他坎帕努拉人需要更多的水,还是您认为只需要时间来安顿下来?

    • Great question. While we don’t find it needs lots of water, it probably doesn’t stand a chance against a tree, which will always win the water tug of war. We grow this fine in full sun away from trees. It will probably be fine where you have it if you’re able to give it enough water to compete with the tree.
