Mini Marvels Midnight Carpathian Bellflower

Mini Marvels™ 'Midnight' is a compact Carpathian bellflower selected for very dark violet-blue, upward-facing bell-shaped flowers. Its mounded foliage stays low, with bloom beginning in late spring and continuing through summer. ## Size and siting Proven Winners lists a mature height of 6–8 inches and a spread of 10–12 inches. The branded page places the cultivar in USDA zones 3–8 and lists sun, average water and very well-drained soil. NC State Extension also names the Mini Marvels series, but gives a taller 10–12 inch height; the exact branded cultivar profile is the better match for this plant. See [Proven Winners](https://admin.provenwinners.com/plants/campanula/mini-marvels-midnight-carpathian-bellflower-campanula-carpatica) and [NC State Extension](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/campanula-carpatica/common-name/carpathian-bellflower/). ## Garden use The compact mound fits rock gardens, containers, edging and the front of a border. Proven Winners lists bees and butterflies among its visitors and recommends deadheading to encourage rebloom. ## Maintenance Plant in sharply drained soil and water during establishment, then avoid waterlogged conditions. Remove spent flowers after the main flush; keep the small clump clear of competing plants.
