Planting and Caring for a Campanula Plant 

How to Plant

Loosen the soil in the area where you intend to plant and incorporate compost or any other organic matter into it. Make a hole that is slightly wider and at the same depth as the root ball. Take out the plant from the nursery pot, and if it has been root-bound, gently pull the roots apart. Position the plant in the hole such that the top of the root ball is at the same level as the soil around it.

Temperature

Campanula medium is a plant that thrives in warm weather and cool nights and can't stand heat.

Soil 

It grows best in soil that is rich with nutrients, drains well, and has a pH level between 6 and 8. Some types are even capable of surviving in less-than-ideal soils, such as clay or rocky ones. For pots, use a good-quality general-purpose potting mix.

Fertilizer and amendments

At the beginning of spring, apply a balanced fertilizer that releases its contents slowly according to the dosage given on the pack. Cover the area around the plants with a thin layer of organic mulch to inhibit the growth of weeds, keep the soil moist, and cool the roots.

Watering 

Moderate water is preferred by Campanula; however, there exist some types that, up to a certain level, can tolerate dry conditions. Moisten the soil constantly, but avoid making it waterlogged.
