Got this from Annie's last fall (prime planting season in my zone) and it was labelled Campanula trachelium 'Bernice Doubles'. The picture sign was gorgeous. Well, BD is a blue campanula, this is obviously not blue. It is double, though, and really pretty. Such a pure white. Does anyone know what the white one is called?

Yes I agree with Jane, AFP produces semi double flowers which looks like what yours has. Pity you didn't get the Bernice one though as that is stunning looking!

This is not trachelium 'Alba Flore Pleno' - the leaves are completely unlike it - C. trachelim has broad leaves that justify the name "nettle-leafed". Looks likes C. carpatica, a white double form is actually rare!

The height looks right for Bernice. Perhaps it is a sport/mutant?
