This beautiful little plant arrived as a total volunteer. Came up from under stone crop sedum that had been there a couple of years. No idea how it got there.

I live in zone 5b and this plant survived our horrible winter and nasty spring. It was not in an area with particularly good drainage either! I lost common things like native vince and echinacea that I'd had for years, yet this newly planted last fall plant made it in fine shape. BRAVO!

One of my favorite Campanulas, but a difficult one to establish. Sensitive to drying out and slow to spread, but great chartreuse leaf color. Worth working on!
