How to Grow and Care for Italian bellflower

Italian bellflower displays a distinctive trailing habit with delicate, star-shaped flowers usually in shades of blue or white. This plant typically thrives in conditions that replicate its preference for bright, indirect light and cool environments. Its foliage comprises lush, green, heart-shaped leaves that have a tendency to be brittle, thus requiring gentle care when handling. The floral display is prolific under long daylight exposure, blossoming on fine, sprawling stems. To maintain its vigorous appearance, the soil must remain moist, avoiding dryness and over-saturation, which could lead to the delicate roots' damage. Optimal growth is achieved within a temperature range that prevents frost exposure, as italian bellflower has limited frost tolerance.
