Perennials: Let us consider the Campanula..., 1 by Weezingreens

There are many, many Campanulas, and many, many more cultivars! Since I grow all mine from seed, I don't get to enjoy the lovely cultivars, but I think the species are often hardier. Here's another photo of C. 'Elizabeth'. I planted it to one of my beds in 2004, and by the next spring, it had begun to spread by underground shoots.

I dug up a couple and repotted them. It didn't spread much more, but it got BIG! I guess I was expecting a 24" plant with two or three stalks. It got at least 36" high and had several stems with clusters of those big bells. It's a beauty, but a bit unruly. I don't know how it would behave in a warmer climate. By next spring, I'll know whether I need to move it or not.
