CLOCKWISE™ 'Compact Deep Blue' Dalmation Bellflower

CLOCKWISE™ Compact Deep Blue is a low, rounded bellflower with a dense mound of green foliage and abundant blue-purple summer flowers. Its compact size suits the front of a border, rock gardens, edging, and containers. ## Flowers and garden use The [Syngenta Flowers product page](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/apac/product/flower/70060524) identifies Compact Deep Blue as an F1 selection of *Campanula portenschlagiana* with dark blue flowers and a mounding habit. [Monrovia’s plant profile](https://www.monrovia.com/clockwisetm-compact-deep-blue-bellflower.html) describes purple, bell-shaped flowers over green mounds and a summer bloom period. Color may read more blue or purple depending on light. ## Size and placement Monrovia gives a mature size of 8–12 inches tall and wide. Syngenta lists garden height of 20–25 cm and width of 25–30 cm. Leave room for the mound to spread and keep taller plants from shading its flowers. ## Light, soil, and water Plant in sun or partial sun in well-drained soil. Keep soil moist but not soggy, especially during establishment and prolonged dry weather. A container or sharply drained rock-garden position can help provide the drainage bellflowers need. ## Maintenance Water consistently during the first growing season, then check soil during dry spells. Remove faded flowers and damaged leaves to keep the plant tidy. No frequent shaping is needed for its naturally mounding habit.
