One of my favorite spring perennials is Campanula ‘Sarastro’. Campanulas are a struggle for us…they either die in our summer heat or take over the garden. One notable exception is the hybrid Campanula ‘Sarastro’, which we’ve grown since 2003, and it just gets better each year. This gem came from Austria’s Sarastro nursery. Coincidentally, we are fortunate to have Sarastro Nursery founder Christian Kress’s amazing daughter Kata, interning with us this summer. It’s been a great opportunity for us both to learn from each other.
