She is an English introduction with blue-violet paper like double bells with the ends upturned. The plant reaches about 24" in height. If you enjoy double flowered blooms, Campanula persicifolia 'Moerheimii' has lovely showy white bells and grows to about 30" tall. gardenbug Ontario, Canada zone 5b, USDA zone 4   Fbonsailady  Posted on Friday, November 29, 2002 - 12:53 pm EST :    Know it well GB, that is a wonderful example you have there.

The foliage is growing nicely; I'm hoping to get blooms this coming year. Hope they look as nice as yours! wanda CA Zone 9   Gardenbug  Posted on Friday, November 29, 2002 - 08:04 pm EST :    And Wanda, you'll have even more the next year! I like to remove the blooms as they age because they tend to turn brown. gardenbug Ontario, Canada zone 5b, USDA zone 4   Vtskiers  Posted on Monday, December 02, 2002 - 12:03 pm EST :    I am embarrassed to say that I don't have any campanulas except for 'White Clips' which is a ground cover. These taller blues are really nice. Do they need full sun?

Easy to remove those you don't want. Mine grow in part sun. They'll grow between walkway stones too, which is where the ones in the top photo seeded themselves. The white Moerheimii that I grow are in a more shaded area and would likely enjoy more sun. Campanula punctata 'wedding bells' grows to 28" and has a spreading tendency- with double "hose in hose" white pendant bells. gardenbug Ontario, Canada zone 5b, USDA zone 4
