Very handsome..an eyecatcher in the garden. Short time blooming...but I cannot have all. Easy to seed and easy to grow. Best if planted in small groups through the garden here and there because it does 'nt rebloom after flowering. Will selfseed. Very suitable for wet cooler climates indeed. In Netherlands C. latifilolia grows - used to grow - along woodsides. It has found its place in gardens through ages. I think you call this a heirloom..we call it a "stinzeplant" Now it is a endangered and protected species in its natural habitat like all other campanula.

Campanulas seem to like our cool, moist climate. This is my second season growning C. latifolia, and I'm quite pleased with it. I had blooms the first year, but this summer they have great blooms and the plants including stalks are at least five feet tall. When heavy with those big blue bells, they tend to fall over, so staking is a good idea, unless they are supported by other plants.
