Oh, I think you would love 'cherry bells' too, I'll send you a bit! And do you have 'wedding bells'? double white form?

No not seen 'wedding bells' or 'cherry bells' are they the same shape as this one? Elizabeth goes potty in my garden, the rabbit ate her all off last year so only had a few flowers this year so far so good no rabbit got inside the fence, YET!

Yes, same form...punctata. They both go mad here. They have slightly fatter bells. The pink one is kind of mauve and the white one is creamy white. I will put pics on for you.....

That's a lovely Campanula.
We went shopping for more Campanulas on Sunday & came back with something else instead (Diplarrhena Latifolia).
I'm getting a little disheartened at losing so many Lobelias over the last couple of winters & see Campanulas as a nice substitute.

I can't grow lobelias here for some reason, they don't thrive, thought I had succeeded with a red one last year, but eh oh it has gone the way of all the others.
One of my daughters has tried in her garden and for some reason they don't thrive in hers either. we are on heavy clay here maybe too damp and cold in the winter for them. I know they like damp but I think we are just a bit too wet and cold.

Never could keep a lobelia in my garden over winter either. I don't think they are very hardy you know.
