I started these from seed last year, so this is my first blooming. Not your usual Campanula shaped flower. The plants are very bushy and grow about 2 ½ feet tall. Flowers are about 1 inch across. I think I’m going to like this one.

| That is gorgeous, love that blue color. For some reason I haven't had much luck growing campanula from seed. |

| Hi The Tall Bellflower has become one of my favorites. Got any tips on starting from seed as I've collected many? The largest plant I spotted this summer was over 5 foot tall. TIA |

| Nice flowers, but the name is wrong. This plant is actually Campanulastrum americanum- it used to be Campanula americana, but it has been reassigned to its own genus because of the unique structure of the flowers |

| Steve I checked my notes and this one was sown on 12/11 and then put in the refrigerator for 3 months. After that, it needs temps around 68 F and light to germinate. I guess it's a biennial. The original plants died after flowering, but reseeded, so I now have some nice ones in the garden which should flower next year. fledgeling - Thanks for the info about the name change. |
