Neutral smiln32 On Nov 30, 2004, smiln32 from Oklahoma City, OK (Zone 7a) wrote:

Easily grown in average, medium wet, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Appreciates part afternoon shade in hot summer climates. Good soil drainage is essential. Can spread rapidly by rhizomes in optimum growing conditions (read: potentially invasive). Will naturalize well. Makes a great groundcover, forming low mounds of foliage growing 3-6" tall and 6-12" wide. Slugs and snails will sometimes feed on the foliage.

A very satisfying clump-forming plant for small areas of ground cover. Also tough but not overly aggressive. This one needs more water than campanula poscharskiana, and it is not as rapid-growing, but it moves nicely to fill small spaces with vivid green foliage and cerulean blossoms.

Neutral Baa On Jan 18, 2003, Baa wrote:

A vigorous, carpet forming Campanula from Croatia.

Has toothed, mid-green, ovate, kidney or heart shaped leaves. Bears blue, funnel shaped starry flowers which appear to almost cover the plant.

Flowers mainly June-September

Loves a well drained, moist, neutral to alkaline soil in sun or light shade. It's often evergreen in England but may be deciduous in colder regions.

Can be a bit invasive but not overly so.
