What a fantastic collection. I love the second from the top on the left. Is the color true to life? Such a lovely soft blue and the shape is nice too. It looks like all of yours are low while the ones we have are tall and on a stalk.

11,12,13 are tall growing ones, the others are creepers. Names are a bit more difficult as many are self seeded mixes.

So many different shapes and sizes all from the same family!  My mum adores campanula...but so do the slugs!

Wonderfull eric.  :)

I have strugled for years (it seems) to grow campanulas. Even now only one type has suceeded (persicifolia), the others have all fallen victim to the slugs and snails (carpatica and glomerata). Even then it took a while to find th right spot for it to start flowering.

I do love the flowers on them though. Sigh!
