I love SOME campanulas - but not this one, I think its terribly untidy and incredibly invasive. My favourite's Campanula portenschlagiana, a neat grower and not sprawly and doesn't seed itself like this variety.

I have this on my slope Jeanette and it self seeds regularly, I wait until the babies are big enough ( doesn't take long) then I dig them up and re-plant them where I want them to grow. Lovely plant.

"Can I uproot and pot on those tiny new plantlets now?"
Yes although I might be tempted to leave it a couple more weeks for it to be growing away more strongly.

Yup you can uproot and pot on... Bulba's wife!

I would go with Anchorman, Annella, and leave them to get a little larger yet, then pot them up during warm, moist weather.

Oooh I used to grow this in my old garden....it was in a totally shady spot and it grew and flowered beautifully every year. It annoyed me because I couldn't spell it's name! But it is a cracker!

Yes, they are campanulas. I love them and excess can be removed 'fairly' easily.
