Dressing up unsightly steps

Wow! This looks truly amazing. Creeping purple campanula covering what used to be dowdy concrete steps. I bought a couple of ground covering campanulas recently to do just that – Campanula muralis and Campanula ‘EK Toogood’. Both have purple-blue flowers in spring and summer, and both grow in sun or shade. These are hardy plants and perfect for covering bare spots quickly, but they grow equally well in containers.
