Not often seen in gardens, this Campanula should be more well known. It is one of the easiest - growing in sun or shade and happy with ordinary soil. Growing to 3' tall, the sturdy, upright stems are studded with rich, lavender blue, 2" star flowers over a long Summer bloom period. Its strong architectural shape makes them ideal for adding impact & structure to the garden. Reseeds!
