Campanula portenschlagiana Ambella Lavender: soft colour on a low evergreen mat

Campanula portenschlagiana Ambella Lavender is a compact wall bellflower that forms a neat, evergreen carpet and flowers for a long stretch in summer. Small, rounded leaves create a dense base, then short stems carry outward-facing bells in a gentle lavender-blue shade. It is an easy way to add a finished edge to steps, raised beds, troughs, and container planting.

Plants generally reach about 10-25 cm in height and spread to around 30-50 cm. In containers, the habit stays tighter than in borders and the plant responds quickly to steady watering.

Choosing the right spot

Ambella Lavender suits full sun to part shade. In hot summers, light shade can help flowers hold their colour and keep foliage fresher. It also performs well in bright, open sites as long as the root zone has moisture during growth and soil clears water quickly after rain.

Soil and drainage

Chalk, loam, and sandy soils are all suitable, and pH can run from acid through neutral to alkaline when drainage is good. The most important factor is drainage, especially in winter. A raised planting pocket, a gravel edge, or a trough with mineral structure keeps the crown airy. In borders, work some grit into the planting area if the soil compacts easily. In very light soils, add a small amount of compost so the plant has enough moisture to support long flowering.

Planting for quick establishment

Plant in spring or early autumn. Set the crown level with the surrounding soil and firm gently. Water in thoroughly and keep moisture consistent during the first season so roots extend beyond the original pot. A fine gravel dressing around the crown helps keep stems clean and supports winter drainage.

Watering routine

In borders, established plants appreciate deep watering during prolonged dry spells, especially in late spring and early summer while buds are forming. Water to moisten the root zone, then allow it to drain and re-oxygenate. In containers, watering needs are higher. Water until the full pot profile is moist, then allow the top 20-30% of the pot depth to begin drying before watering again.

Container culture keeps plants smaller and slower than open ground, which is useful when you want a compact edge that stays proportionate in a pot or trough.

After-flowering tidy-up

Once the main flowering flush finishes, trim back the spent stems to keep the mat dense and leafy. Use a quick shear with broad strokes: cut the flowering stems back to just above the leaf cushion. Fresh foliage follows, and a lighter repeat flowering is possible later in the season when temperatures stay mild.

Winter care for evergreen mats

It overwinters well in many gardens when crowns stay airy and soil does not stay waterlogged. In most gardens, winter survival is straightforward when drainage stays sharp and crowns sit clear of standing water. In pots, place containers on feet and keep them on a draining surface so water exits quickly. In wet winters, a covered spot that stays bright and airy can help evergreen mats stay clean and vigorous.

Common issues in summer and winter

  • Patchy growth after winter: Often linked to saturated compost or soil; mineral structure and raised planting improve resilience.
  • Short flowering window: Drought stress can reduce bud production; deep watering during dry spells supports a longer display.
  • Mildew on leaves: More common in still, humid positions; airflow and spacing reduce pressure.
  • Leaf spots: Wet weather can trigger spotting; tidy-up removes affected stems and keeps the mat open.
  • Chewed spring shoots: Slugs and snails graze young growth; regular checks keep plants tidy early in the season.

Ways to use Ambella Lavender

Let it spill over walls and steps, run it along a border edge, or plant it in bowls and troughs where the flowers can sit close to view. Its soft lavender tone pairs easily with white, pale pink, and deep purple planting, and the evergreen base keeps the space looking finished outside the main flowering period.

Keeping the evergreen cushion clean

Evergreen mats look best when light reaches the leaves and air can move through the planting. After winter, remove any tired outer stems and clear debris that has collected in the mat. A gravel top-dressing keeps the crown open and helps stems stay dry during rainy spells. In mixed borders, allow a small gap around the plant leave a small gap so neighbouring perennials stay clear of the cushion.

Propagation and sharing plants

Ambella Lavender can be increased by seed and by basal cuttings in spring. Basal cuttings root well in a gritty medium kept evenly moist. In established plantings, lifting and replanting vigorous outer sections in early spring can also renew the mat and support denser flowering. This renewal is especially helpful in troughs where plants are expected to stay compact and tidy.

Seasonal rhythm for Ambella Lavender

In spring, new shoots rise through the evergreen base and set the stage for summer flowering. Through summer, steady moisture supports continuous bud production, while a post-flower shear keeps the cushion compact. In autumn, growth slows and the plant shifts its energy into maintaining the evergreen mat. Winter success relies on drainage and light around the crown so foliage stays clean and airy.

Feeding for steady flowering

In borders, a light spring mulch with compost usually provides enough nutrition. In pots, a low-strength balanced feed in late spring supports ongoing bud formation. Pair feeding with consistent watering and bright light so growth stays compact and the flower stems remain short and sturdy.

Re: potentially toxic substances
Flavor Name: Unflavored, Size: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)
For those worried about the presence of potentially harmful substances such as Mercury, Lead, Aluminum, Fluoride, and Arsenic please do your research before panicking. This product is natural and all substances in it are naturally occurring. To find a product without the certain substances most likely means you are getting a more processed and synthetic product. Please read below an email I received from Dr. Darrin Starkey re: why those substances are in ConcenTrace mineral drops. "Trace Minerals Research regularly tests for the presence of heavy metals, using Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) testing methods in addition to other standard testing methods. Test results consistently show that the amounts of these elements are well below safety tolerance levels established for food and drug manufacturing. In fact, recent test results released by an independent laboratory, using U.S. EPA approved testing methodologies, affirm that Trace Minerals Research’s mineral products do not contain levels that even approach the EPA’s reference dose for these elements. The recent findings should assure you, as well as our consumers everywhere, that Trace Minerals Research’s products are safe and do not pose any threat of heavy metal toxicity. The product is GRAS affirmed. If you are not familiar with GRAS affirmation, I would recommend educating yourself on it. Our trace minerals are harvested (not manufactured) from the Great Salt Lake, and if you look at the landscape of the Great Salt Lake, you realize very quickly that it is surrounded by mountains. These mountains have various streams and rivers, that naturally runoff into the Great Salt Lake, and with no outlets, the lake becomes a sort of catch basin. As the snowpack melts in the spring, and this runoff makes it's way down the mountains, it picks up minerals from the rocks and soil that then accumulate in the Great Salt Lake. Information that was put together by the Utah Geological Society on the Great Salt Lake actually clarifies how the lake is able to self clean without any outlets. It is important, and interesting, to note this information because while the lake has been concentrating inorganic salts in its waters for thousands of years, the total soluble concentrations of heavy metals are actually low. The information the Utah Geological Society put together states that the heavy metals, including clays, are enabled within the sediments and brines due to anaerobic conditions that then immobilize the metals. At Trace Minerals Research, we take great pride in the quality and purity of our products. Our mineral brines are harvested from our private ponds on the Northwest side of the lake. Once the trace minerals are harvested, each lot of mineral brines undergoes extensive testing by both "in-house" and independent laboratories (as I have already mentioned), to test for impurities and to ensure potency, purity, and balance. Careful handling is a part of our harvesting process which is similar to that of an agricultural operation, and, just as in organic farming, great care is taken to avoid contamination by chemicals. You specifically mentioned a concern about Lead, Mercury, Fluoride, Arsenic, and Aluminum. Again, this is question/concern many people have, and so it is important to understand how trace minerals work to understand why we have trace amounts of these elements in the product. First off, toxicity often occurs when a single element is introduced out of balance with other trace minerals. Man-made by-products are, all too often, the culprits of this because they are found in much higher doses than nature would have them. For instance, mercury contamination of our oceans has created a situation where the fish we consume from the very oceans we have contaminated contain much higher mercury levels than nature would normally have them contain. Most forms of life are not very good at expelling mercury so they tend to accumulate and concentrate mercury that they consume. If plankton consumes sea water over its life, it will tend to accumulate any mercury from the sea water and, thus, the mercury in the plankton will typically be higher than levels that are found in the sea water. When a fish eats the plankton over its life, it tends to accumulate mercury from the plankton and, thus, the fish will typically have higher levels of mercury than the plankton. As this paradigm continues upwards through the food chain, mercury levels tend to increase. The balance of trace minerals has been disrupted, and and as a result, there is now concern over human consumption of fish and the risk of mercury contamination. The amount of Mercury found in 40 drops (1/2 teaspoon) of ConcenTrace is 0.008 parts per million (ppm). To put this into perspective, in a baked potato or a lean grilled chicken breast you get 0.4 ppms, and in a strawberry, you get 0.6 ppms of Mercury. Arsenic is another perfect example of a man-made byproduct that has been linked to toxicity and as a result, most information about arsenic is focused around this concern. But, did you know that some of the richest sources of arsenic in our diets are found in our seeded berries such as strawberries. Most people wouldn't think twice about popping a strawberry in their mouth, and shouldn't, but that is also the amount of arsenic we are talking about in the ConcenTrace. Fluoride does occur naturally, however, the concern over fluoride comes not from the naturally occurring fluoride, but from synthesized versions that are made by man and then added to our drinking water and to toothpaste. On average, we usually consume anywhere from 1.3-1.8 milligrams of fluoride a day from our foods. Fluoride naturally occurs in potatoes, beef, apples, chicken, milk, eggs, and oatmeal to name just a few. The same applies to both Lead and Aluminum as well that are found in our product. Both are naturally occurring trace minerals found in their naturally occurring ionic state, and as such, are in similar amounts to that which is found naturally existing in many of the foods we consume. Understanding how trace minerals work, helps to put into perspective the concerns over toxicity. Again, toxicity occurs when a single element is introduced out of balance with other trace minerals, and, as I said, man-made by-products are, all too often, the reason why we associate certain elements with toxicity. Trace minerals work synergistically with one another to ensure that proper absorption, activation, regulation, and pH balance occurs within the body. An example of this synergistic relationship is that of the one between molybdenum and iron. All the iron in the world will do you no good without molybdenum. Molybdenum performs a very important, but basic, function by mobilizing iron from its storage location in the liver so that it can help blood carry oxygen to cells and tissues. This important, but often overlooked mineral, is vital in sustaining our lives, and only recently was its purpose discovered. Another role of trace minerals is to police each other. When taken in proper balance, trace minerals control one another to ensure that no one element gets out of control and creates a toxic situation within the body. Trace Minerals Research does not manufacture their trace minerals. They are harvested in their naturally occurring state, and as such, also occur in their naturally balanced state. Again, in this state, they help to regulate one another, and create a balanced state within the body. Best of health, Dr. Darrin Starkey Manager of Education and Training Trace Minerals Research " Hope this helped!
