Positive Katze On Jan 22, 2006, Katze from Minneapolis, MN (Zone 4a) wrote:

I am a beginner gardener and this is definitely a good plant for beginners. I purchased a bellflower plant from a local nursery and planted it in a location that receives full sun. Within 10 days, there were about 6 flowers had bloomed. It bloomed all summer long and was even blooming in October. Definitely an easy care plant since mine hasn't required constant watering.
I'm planning on adding more of these to our yard this year since they're so pretty and easy to take care of.

Large bell shaped flowers on wiry stems with attractive foliage. They do spread quite a bit, although I have not found them invasive. Especially nice used at the base of daylilies or other tall plants.

Neutral poppysue On Mar 19, 2002, poppysue from Westbrook, ME (Zone 5a) wrote:

This campanula is a low grower and forms a 1-2 feet wide clump of heart shaped leaves. Its thin, wiry stems produce upturned, bell-shaped flowers for many weeks in summer. Colors range from white to deep purple. It prefers a fertile soil in sun or partial shade.
