I did a Google image search (link below) to get an idea of what the whole plant looks like.

Looks like it might be good for a rock garden and the flowers look interesting, but that foliage just doesn't grab me. Still - I do have a small bed where something like this might work.

I have grown these, along with sheepbit (jasione)....but was irritated by the wayward stems which were too fine for staking (very long and wiry) but would not stand upright but flopped willy-nilly in every direction. Annoying and messy looking (like rather a lot of my plant choices, looking out of the window....sigh)....and not amenable to being supported by other plants since the growth rosette is all at the base of the plant and needs sun.

Excellent report campanula. Thank you.

Ah...there is that self deprecating British humour! You are a card campanula.

Ah, if only, I think having been looking at Christines (?) new beds, Kevin's perfectly balanced vignettes, Woody's lush planting........then glancing at the bitty, and weirdly patchy garden at mine (lots of salvia, the last geums, very dainty hemerocallis and tall scrambling psilostemon geraniums....and far too much untidy foliage and looming, non-blooming climbing roses....well! True, it is airy and colourful (in parts) but also unsatisfyingly....disjointed (the perpetual complaint of plant obsessives with tiny gardens).
Making plans for next year.....no doubt the first of many, but an overhaul is on the cards.....

non-blooming climbing roses...

Campanula please humour me....we are always proud of our climbing rose this time of year.

Here it is from a week or so ago.

Would that be one of the explorers? Mine (roses) are more or less done and dusted for the season (I mainly have once bloomers). Yours looks rather like my Zepherine Drouhin did before it finally succumbed to mildew (and everything else) and was finally sent to compost-bin heaven. My alliums are done too. Loving the hose (mine is always in a state of unwindedness too)..

You are right campanula it is an Explorer. (It does bloom only once in the season...almost for a month from mid June into July). This particular rose is approximately 14 years old.

(I should have cropped out the hose ;))

Smashing!

leave the hose - we are fed up with perfection.....nothing says gardener more than a hose and a few empty pots lying around.
