In this one you can see the campanulas prepared for blooming in few days.... Mariae - Europe, Zone "?"   Mike_in_chicago  My Garden Posted on Tuesday, April 25, 2006 - 06:31 pm EST :    Very pretty. Do you know their names? Maybe C. dalmaticum?

Plantynut, Missgarden, I will make more photos next weekend and show you all open. I am sorry, Mike_in_chicago, I don't know the name, perhaps some of the gardenbuddies will know?. Mariae - Europe, Zone "?"   Mariae  Posted on Wednesday, May 03, 2006 - 08:14 am EST :    Mike in chicago, I think they are "Campanula carpatica" are you agree with me? Mariae - Europe, Zone "?"   Susanq  My Favorite Photo My Garden Journal My Weather My Garden My Time Posted on Wednesday, May 03, 2006 - 02:04 pm EST :    They are so abundant! A flower after my own heart, Mariae :) SusanQ - Zone 4b-5b Wisconsin   Bluesibe  Posted on Wednesday, May 03, 2006 - 02:46 pm EST :    Mariae, They are beautiful. And the rock is a perfect backdrop for the vibrant blue. Carol Bluesibe   Mike_in_chicago  My Garden Posted on Wednesday, May 03, 2006 - 08:09 pm EST :    Mariae, I don't think they are C. carpatica. Their flowers are rounder, less separated. It looks more like C. fenestrellata or dalmatica or others similar. But I love it nevertheless! Mike_in_chicago - Chicago, IL, Zone "5b"   Shirley1md  Posted on Friday, May 19, 2006 - 08:56 pm EST :    Beautiful! I especially love how they look in your rock garden!! Shirley Maryland Zone 7a   Starzgarden  Posted on Wednesday, May 24, 2006 - 06:56 am EST :    How lovely the way they cascade over the rocks and so many beautiful blooms to enjoy!

I have both blues and whites that I need to move; and I have a short rock retaining wall.

They don't spread by the roots, though... but they sure do seed vigorously! (The above is based on my observation of loads of C. carpatica in my garden, and on some reading (e.g. Campanulas, by Lewis and Lynch). I wouldn't guess that this is C. carpatica either. The lobes on the flower petal on this plant are incised down to about half the length of the flower tube, whereas the various C. carpatica cultivars have shallow-cut lobes from which the petal tips tend not be particularly recurved. How about C. portenschlagiana, based on the flower shape; leaves that appear to be small, heart-shaped and with a leaf tip (on mature leaves, anyway, it appears); petal lobes flexed out at about 45 degrees.... ? C. fenestrellata was suggested earlier...this is supposed to have blue pollen; maybe it would be helpful to check that, when the next blooming season rolls around? Abgardeneer - Alberta, Zone "3"   Perennial_lady  Posted on Wednesday, December 06, 2006 - 11:47 am EST :    You are right they do look like campanula portenschlagiana I kind forgot as i haven't worked in them for 10 years and things change trying to help I have a question though where do you go to get your picture on the side as you have nothing to do with campanulas, but I'd like to find out so I can do it .New at this Thank-you Perennial_lady - Ontario, Zone "5a"   Abgardeneer  Posted on Wednesday, December 06, 2006 - 10:03 pm EST :    Ooops, here's a clarification... I meant to say: "How about C. portenschlagiana, based on the flower shape; leaves that appear to be small, heart-shaped and with a rounded leaf tip (on mature leaves, anyway, it appears); petal lobes flexed out at about 45 degrees.... ?". } Abgardeneer - Alberta, Zone "3"
