This plant will grow anywhere from what I've read. I've grown it in my back garden in full DRY SHADE and it grew and flowered. Last year I moved some to sunnier spots in clay soil and will see how they do. Over all... nice plant.

Easily grown from seed. Native to Korea. Fast growing plant. Flowers are nodding, creamy colored and bell-shaped. Can be potentially invasive.

Neutral jody On Nov 10, 2000, jody from MD &, VA (Zone 7b) wrote:

This species of Campanula forms large clumps and the flowering stems grow to about 3' tall. The flowers are long bell shaped and are white to lilac/pink outside, spotted with darker purple inside. I think it is very 'elegant' in appearance. Best cultivated in sun to part shade. Propagate by seed, division, or cuttings. Hardy zones 5-9.
