I planted three Campanula takesimana 'Bellringers' last year and they were fantastic, blooming and blooming. I got them a half price last year and they were offered again so I bit. That and Campanula Bernice do really well in my yard. After ll those years of trying and failing to grow them, it is such a treat.

I think platycodons need 70 degrees and light to germinate. The real trick is transplantation. Too soon, and they are too weak. Too lat, and they resent the disturbance. So I germinate a whole bunch. Last time the blues and whites came through but not the pinks. And, you know, the perlemutter is more likely to die out. I have never lost a blue and I've retained 90% of the white ones, but the perles are more fragile.

New heat mat came today. Yes! The cats can't have this one
