A closer look at C. persicifolia, blue. Here C. latifolia in blue ...and in white... A close look at. C. trachelium, white. The blue ones are not yet in bloom. C. lactiflora is a very pale blue bell, but I could not capture its colour.

Rabbits ate my Campanula, so no flowers this year.

Your photo of white C. trachelium is inspiring! Unfortunately only one of mine has survived the voles for more than a year or two. My favourite Campanula is lactiflora 'Loddon Anna' which has done well for many years and so far has escaped vole attacks. Do you also grow C. pyramidalis? I'm thinking of planting it to have something tall and narrow in July when the foxgloves are finished. I don't think I've ever seen it growing in person, so I wonder if it really does get as huge as it says in the descriptions.

In my garden C. latifolia's are quite high, about 120 cm. I'm lucky, no slugs, no voles :D Papula - Southern Finland, Vantaa, Zone "Southern Finland"   Bluesibe  My Weather Posted on Tuesday, July 10, 2007 - 09:39 am EST :    Beautiful. I, too, like the dark blue. Bluesibe - Berkeley Area, California, Zone "9a"   Zephirine  Posted on Wednesday, July 11, 2007 - 04:19 pm EST :    And what about a blue one with deep violet eyes? It is its first year in my garden, but I definitely love it : Campanula primulaefolia (or primulifolia): Another new beauty here, but I'm afraid of planting it in the garden, as it is a punctata, and they usually tend to be VERY invasive in my soil...*C. punctata 'Wedding Bells'...hmmm...

I really like the white ones you have there (the 4th photo down) what variety is that one as I would like to get myself one of those. I have seen that one in the purple too but never knew the name of it?? Golden Golden_ca - British Columbia, Zone "8"
