Campanula portenschlagiana

 

The campanula flowers well in the narrow conservatory border and has done so for many years. The photo above is from June this year. I don't feed or ever water this low growing plant, it just goes on and on. It is called "hardy, vigorous and persistent" on the Gardener's World website. It likes full sun and a south facing aspect which it does have here. I guess the reflected warmth from the conservatory brickwork also helps. 

The same website says it flowers in July and August, but the above photo is from June. Mine is over by end of July and I chop it right back. However, it then flowers again, the photo below is from late October!
