How many recognise the stately yellow flower as a campanula? Seen here growing in a friends crevice bed in Edinburgh.

I understood that it was a biennial, Simbad, but ours are in their second year now and not showing signs of flowering yet. It must be monocarpic so remember to collect seed.

Thanks for that,I thought it was a biennial too by what it said on the Chilterns website where I bought the seed,but yes I'll definitely remember to collect the seed when it does flower :-))

Bulbaholic just thought I'd let you know I have buds forming on 3 plants!!!!!, I do have lots of plants though so probably inevitable that a few would flower second year, can't wait :-)

Good. We have several plants that will (should) flower this year. Enjoy them, they are a loely campanula and, being a hairy leaf species, the slugs don't eat them.
