Campanula Addenda Ambella Set – Intense Purple
Plant description
Campanula addenda ‘Ambella’ Intense Purple is a compact, flowering bellflower with a dense cushion of small green leaves and deep purple, star-shaped blooms. This set includes 3 plants in 12 cm nursery pots, designed to sit neatly in a woven cotton basket with an integrated water reservoir insert. At delivery, the plants are approximately 25 cm tall, making them easy to place both indoors and outdoors.
In the image, the basket has a light natural tone with a tight, lace-like weave and a calm, tactile surface. The plants fill the top edge generously, creating a low, rounded form with flowers held just above the foliage—ideal when you want colour without height. The included insert keeps the plants stable and reduces mess, so you can style the basket on a balcony table, in a conservatory, or in a bright room without repotting.
Plant care
- Light requirements: Bright light with some shelter; best in semi-shade or bright indirect light. Outdoors, morning or late-afternoon sun is ideal; avoid strong midday sun behind glass.
- Watering routine: Keep the compost evenly moist. Water when the top 1–2 cm feels dry. In warm weather this can be 2–3 times per week; indoors typically less. Do not let the pots stand in water for long periods.
- Humidity preferences: Normal household humidity is suitable. Outdoors, natural airflow helps keep foliage healthy.
- Temperature range: Thrives at 10–22°C. Campanula is generally hardy; in winter it rests and can return with new growth in the next season (outdoor performance depends on local conditions and drainage).
Growth and characteristics
- Plant species: Campanula (Addenda group), ‘Ambella’ Intense Purple

- Growth speed: Moderate; plants fill out quickly during the flowering period
Placement in the home
For indoor use, place the basket near an east- or west-facing window where the plant receives plenty of daylight without harsh midday sun. Campanula also suits a cool hallway with good natural light, or a kitchen windowsill where temperatures stay stable. Outdoors, use it on a sheltered balcony, patio table, or in a garden room—especially where you want a compact flowering plant that reads well from close range.
Care tips
Remove faded flowers regularly to encourage continued blooming. If using the built-in water reservoir, treat it as support—not a substitute for checking moisture. After heavy rainfall outdoors, empty excess water so the roots don’t sit wet. Indoors, keep the plant away from radiators and drying heat sources. If flowering slows, a light feed for flowering plants every 2–3 weeks during the growing season can help (follow the dosage on the fertiliser).
