Campanula 'Cantubury Bells' Need Info!

This is my second year with Campanula 'Canterbury Bells' Mix, I WS'd them in 2011. The plants just keep getting larger and larger, not a sign of a stem. What is the deal with them? They're supposed to be biennuals. Do I need to pinch them back, inorder to promote bloom?

Need info. Help!

they will bloom eventually, and when yours do, they will be magnificent. It sometimes happens that they just don't make enough growth during their flowering year, putting all their energy into making a massive rosette of leaves - in which case, they will bloom the following year (when they will be enormous). Generally, I sow biennials during the early part of summer so they have a few months to get to a decent size before their first winter - they bloom the following summer.

Thank You Campanula! I am really anxious to see them bloom. I've only seen them in pictures.
