The name says 'posh', but this tough Balkan bellflower is a battler! Frost hardy and able to stick out dry spells, it covers itself in starry white bellflowers through spring and summer.

It loves rockeries, hanging baskets, cascading over walls. In ideal locations it might get a little enthusiastic, but it's easy enough to re-establish the boundaries and keep it in check.
