  This low-growing, spreading campanula makes ideal groundcover and looks wonderful scrambling between pavings or up a wall, or as an edging plant. It has masses of small, star-shaped, blue flowers, which appear over a long time in summer and early autumn. Once established it can be extremely vigorous, so avoid planting it beside smaller, less robust plants.
  
  
• Garden care: Protect the tender foliage from slug damage using environmentally friendly slug pellets or beer traps. During the growing season water freely.
