Why We Love It

Bellflower, also known as campanula, is a gorgeous late spring flower that we absolutely adore in wedding work.  Made of multiple blooms on one tall stem, they can be cut down and separated into multiple pieces, or used as one taller stem.

These perennials come in shades of pink, purple, and white, and are also loved by pollinators.

Campanula means “little bell” in Latin, a very fitting name for the bell shaped flowers!
