Key Features:

• Height and Spread: This variety typically reaches a height of 10-12 inches (25-30 cm) with a spread of 12-14 inches (30-35 cm). Its compact growth habit and mounding form make it an excellent choice for edging, containers, or mixed flower beds.

• Long Blooming Period: 'Ambella® Intense Purple' offers an extended blooming period compared to other Campanula varieties. Its flowers persist for several weeks, adding a pop of color to your garden and attracting beneficial pollinators like bees and butterflies.

• Low-Maintenance: This Campanula variety is easy to care for, requiring minimal maintenance once established. It is a reliable performer, thriving in a variety of soil conditions and tolerating different light levels, making it suitable for both beginner and experienced gardeners.

• Versatility: The 'Ambella® Intense Purple' is a versatile plant that can be used in various garden settings. It works well in borders, rock gardens, or cottage-style landscapes. It also performs beautifully in containers, providing vertical interest and a burst of color on patios and balconies.

Maintenance Tips:

• Light Requirements: 'Ambella® Intense Purple' thrives in full sun to partial shade. It prefers at least six hours of direct sunlight each day for optimal blooming. However, it can tolerate some shade, especially in hot climates, where it benefits from protection during the hottest part of the day.

• Watering: Provide regular watering to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply and thoroughly, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid overhead watering, as it can lead to leaf diseases. Apply a layer of mulch around the plant to help retain moisture and suppress weed growth.

• Soil and Fertilizer: Plant 'Ambella® Intense Purple' in well-draining soil enriched with organic matter. It prefers neutral to slightly acidic soil. If your soil is heavy or poorly drained, amend it with compost or well-rotted manure to improve drainage. Fertilize with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring to promote healthy growth and blooming.

• Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and maintain the plant's neat appearance. Deadheading also prevents self-seeding, as Campanulas can be prolific seeders.

• Winter Care: 'Ambella® Intense Purple' is typically hardy in USDA Zones 4-9. Provide a layer of mulch around the plant's base in late fall to insulate the roots and protect them from extreme winter temperatures. Mulching also helps prevent frost heaving.

• Pest and Disease Control: Campanulas are generally resistant to pests and diseases. However, occasional pests like slugs or snails can be a nuisance. Monitor your plants and take appropriate measures to control these pests if necessary.

In conclusion, the Campanula 'Ambella® Intense Purple' is a captivating perennial that brings vibrant color and charm to your garden or landscape. With its deep purple blooms, compact growth habit, and low-maintenance nature, this variety is a fantastic choice for creating eye-catching displays. By following the provided maintenance tips, you can ensure that your Campanula 'Ambella® Intense Purple' thrives and continues to delight with its stunning flowers for years to come.
