Unpack bare roots or rhizomes on arrival and plant them within a week. Until then, keep them somewhere cool and ensure the roots remain slightly moist, never wet.
'Rebelle'
bellflower
Campanula 'Rebelle' may have a name that suggests defiance, yet it’s a bellflower that charms its way into the garden with elegance rather than rebellion. This compact, free-flowering variety produces a profusion of vivid violet-blue blooms that stand out crisply against their backdrop of fresh green foliage. Each bell-shaped flower has a luminous quality, as if lit from within, creating a lively patchwork of colour through the summer months. Neat in stature but generous in bloom, Campanula 'Rebelle' offers a striking way to lift borders, containers, or pathways with a refreshing splash of vibrancy that feels both modern and classically timeless.
What makes Campanula 'Rebelle' especially rewarding is its ability to flower with remarkable generosity for such a tidy plant. Its clusters of violet-blue bells create an almost rhythmic display, drawing the eye again and again without ever feeling overwhelming. Planted en masse, this bellflower produces a vivid carpet of colour, while as a single specimen it brings a graceful accent to smaller spaces. The compact form ensures it slots easily into a wide range of planting styles, from cottage gardens to contemporary designs. Reliable, long-lasting, and with a touch of playful character, Campanula 'Rebelle' has all the makings of a garden essential — a small plant with a decidedly bold voice.

Plant calendar
Remove the packaging straight away, check the compost and water thoroughly if dry. Check the plant’s hardiness before placing it outdoors. Plant into a border or permanent container within a month, choosing the position recommended for the variety. Keep the top of the root ball level with the surrounding soil, firm gently and water well.
Soak the roots in water for three to six hours immediately before planting. Keep any crown, buds or emerging shoots above the water where possible.
Pot most bare roots into 15–20cm pots filled with peat-free multipurpose compost. Large or depth-sensitive roots, including peonies, are often best planted directly into borders.
Arrange the roots naturally without bending them. Cover the roots completely, positioning the crown and buds at the depth recommended for that particular perennial.
Keep pots in a sheltered outdoor position and water whenever the compost begins to dry. Grow on until roots hold the compost together when lifted from the pot.
Plant into a suitable border or permanent container once well rooted. Add a label and water regularly throughout the first growing season while the perennial establishes.
