Campanula Glomerata 'Freya'

Bellflower-Clustered

A compact, upright bellflower valued for its dense clusters of deep violet-blue flowers, strong stems, and excellent border performance. Rounded flower heads bloom in late spring to early summer, sitting neatly above dark green foliage and creating bold, concentrated color with a tidy, well-supported habit.

Growth is clump-forming and more controlled than many Campanula glomerata selections, making it easier to place in mixed borders without excessive spreading.
