Kath. zone 8b UK   Gardenbug  Posted on Friday, November 29, 2002 - 11:00 am EST :    You have a gorgeous example there. I love to see how others use them! gardenbug Ontario, Canada zone 5b, USDA zone 4   Cahenry  Posted on Friday, November 29, 2002 - 11:26 am EST :    That's the one that got me, too. They haven't bloomed yet but they're growing fine. Mine are the white Peach Leaved Bell Flowers. cahenry (Cathy) Zone 7   Plantynut  Posted on Friday, November 29, 2002 - 12:48 pm EST :    They are beautiful GB. Arlene Zone 7 Long Island, NY   Gregorson  Posted on Friday, November 29, 2002 - 10:32 pm EST :    Another beauty added to my want-list. Tomas, Sweden zone 5, USDA 4/5.   Wanda  Posted on Saturday, November 30, 2002 - 06:25 am EST :    I love the perscifolias. I think it was one of my first campanulas too, and it blooms all summer for me which is an added bonus. I can't decide if I like the blue or the white best. wanda CA Zone 9   Kniphofia  Posted on Saturday, November 30, 2002 - 05:03 pm EST :    Yes, I think persicifolias are my favorites. One I've really enjoyed is "Chettle Charm" which is white with a pale blue rim on the edge of the petal. Very charming. That would suit you Wanda, as it has both colors! Sue Central Maine z4   Vtskiers  Posted on Sunday, January 05, 2003 - 10:53 am EST :    'Kent Belle' is also on my list. According to my local source, it get to 30"-must be due to the colder zone. 'Chettle Charm' is also gorgeous...hmmm... Sue Wethersfield, CT USA Zone 6a   Fbonsailady  Posted on Sunday, January 05, 2003 - 01:22 pm EST :    My 'Kent Belle' is planted in a very sheltered and sunny spot Sue, maybe that's why it gets to 4ft Kath.zone 8b   Formerly_ci  Posted on Sunday, January 05, 2003 - 02:22 pm EST :    Gardenbug one of the nicest combos I ever saw I learned from Penelope Hobhouse. It is Campanula persicifolia and roses. I had a group of them planted with some yellow Austin Roses and the combo was to die for! Now alas no room for roses and groundhogs devoured most of my Campanulas right before they bloomed but some day I will have that mix again.

I used to love going to work to see all the perennials in flower in the greenhouses.I worked with perennials for 22 years.Its nice potting them and watching them grow.I had to quit though cause i got sick.I know their latin names and english .I had to go to the greenhouses and get them for retail and wholesale orders.

I saw it in Deanne's garden and fell in love with it. Did you grow from seed, or purchase plants? The few nursery catalogs I looked in had double flowers, which are pretty too, I just didn't know if it blooms as prolifically as the one you have appears to. Lesliedon2000 - Georgia, Zone "7"   Golden_ca  Posted on Sunday, March 18, 2007 - 11:49 pm EST :    You have to try cup and saucer - it comes in purple pink and white and its my favorite! Very cottage like. The only downside is it is a bieannual. Unfortunately this isnt the best picture of how pretty they really are but I will have to wait till summer now - boy SUMMER will that be nice!!! Golden Golden_ca - British Columbia, Zone "8"   Perennial_lady  Posted on Monday, March 19, 2007 - 02:50 pm EST :    I think they are lovely. One of my favorites.The balloon flower is another one of my best.They are kinda similar but not the same.The latin name is platacona.The Campanula latin name is Campanula caly. Perennial_lady - Ontario, Zone "5a"   Missgarden  My Garden Posted on Friday, March 23, 2007 - 07:17 pm EST :    I also started growing this one recently and I loved the blue color. The blooms were very abundant but I wish they lasted a bit longer. Missgarden - Ontario, Zone "5b"   Missgarden  My Garden Posted on Friday, March 23, 2007 - 07:27 pm EST :    I also enjoy the small variety Campanula Carpatica 'White Clips' and 'Blue Clips'. These bloom for a very long time. Missgarden - Ontario, Zone "5b"   Suebot  Posted on Sunday, June 03, 2007 - 07:08 pm EST :    I just received my Campanula "Cherry Bells" from Bluestone Perennials and I also have the Campanula "Sarastro" that I planted last week. The Sarastro has dark purple shaped bells and grows to be about 15-18" high. I was visiting a rose garden last June that neighbors open up to the public and saw Cherry Bells planted in front of a rose bush. What a beautiful plant. So when I saw this species at HD I just grabbed it. Then I came across the Cherry Bells on Bluestones sale, so now I have some campanulas. I would like some of the taller types. Maybe next year! All your pictures are making me green with envy! Are Canterbury bells the same as cup and saucers? suebot in CT Suebot - Connecticut, Zone "6A"
