I grew Campanula "Blue Chips" from seed. I think every seed germinated. The plants were extremely hardy as I kept waiting to find the "right spot" to plant all these plants. I kept dividing the plants and putting them in more pots. I finally planted them in bright shade or the north side of my house and bascially forgot about them. They have bloomed all summer with an occasional watering. I also planted some in hanging baskets with other bigger flowers They did not do as well. These flowers are very easy to germinated by winter sowing. The blooms are quite small but many, and the blue is pretty intense: I would call it a royal blue.

I have both the white and the blue and planted them amongst my hosta just for a little color and until the hosta got bigger and now it is four years later and I have them in between and along the edge of the whole one side of that garden they will grow and spread in sun or light shade does not matter. Pretty addition.

I LOVE the look of these plants (or, should I say, "the small bit of one which still remains")... some "critter" seems to find them desirable too as in Spring~~>early Summer, I can enjoy huge, beautiful, blue & white flowering clips along the front border of the entrance to our home, & THEN, the very next morning when I go out to admire & deadhead our lovely plants, I find they have been munched away right down to the soil, & then, they do not come back ever again!

Both Blue Clips and White Clips are fantastic bloomers. They edge my front garden and everyone remarks on them. You can divide them easily and they grow remarkably fast. Rain or shine, they look great. I have them in full sun, light shade and shade.
