Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Campanula plant named Chettle Charm, characterized by its distinct white, blue-tinged flowers, with flowering beginning in June and continuing into August; clump forming low growing habit making it ideal for use in borders or containers, vigorous growth habit, and its tall flowered spikes which make excellent cut flowers.

Description

The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of hardy perennial herbaceous plant of the genus Campanula, a member of the Campanulaceae family, and known by its cultivar name Chettle Charm.
Chettle Charm was discovered as a seedling from a breeding program carried out by inventors John P. C. Bourke and Janet E. Bourke at Chettle House, Chettle, Blandford in the County of Dorset, England. The female parent was a presently unidentified cultivar of the species Campanula persicifolia and the male parent was the cultivar alba of the same species. The aim of the program was to produce a new cultivar which would not only be attractive in a garden situation but would also be ideal as a cut flower, combining the colors of the parents with the reliability of the male parent Alba.
The new cultivar was asexually reproduced by division by the inventors in Chettle, Blandford, England, and has been found to retain its characteristic from generation to generation.
Chettle Charm is particularly characterized by its large flowered spikes which make excellent cut flowers. The flowers, of classic C. persicifolia type, are edged with blue gradually fading to white at the center. Like Alba, the new cultivar forms evergreen mounds of narrow basal rosettes, a pleasing backdrop to the tall slender spikes which emerge with tight green buds which gradually open to reveal the porcelain blue and white flowers. The plant thrives best in full sun but will tolerate part shade in well drained soil that does not become too dry.
