"Every Plant has a story . . ."

R. campanulatum

Grow this plant for its foliage – substantial elliptic gems of deep green.  The underside of the leaf is covered with a tawny indumentum that appears to be plastered in place.  The flowers will vary – pale lilac to white.

This species comes from the southern Himalayas – Kashmir to Sikkim – and therefore has lots of variation.

R. campanulatum will make roughly a five foot bush in ten years.  By then it will have a lovely trunk with grey to fawn bark.

Campanulatum  will appreciate:  A bright location with protection from strong sun, small amounts of fertilizer on Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day, Gentle watering that keeps it moist, Good drainage with well aerated soil

 Campanulatum evokes the feel of the lush vegetation characteristic of the Himalayas and adds an exotic touch to your garden.
