Solved Any idea? 5ft tall...

bought this perennial last year and it was attacked by slugs so I put it in a pot. It didn’t really recover. This year it showed signs of growth so I planted it out. It’s produced these two spikes and is about 5ft. They look like they are covered in flower buds and I can’t wait to see what it does! Any idea what it is? I tend to favour salvias for some reason so am thinking it might be some sort of salvia? I know I always go for things that are tall... but I had no idea they would be this tall!

 

Ah yes... could be. I’ll google them!

 

Not a good photo to work from but deffo not Salvia.

 

Sorry...I did upload two! I'll do it now....

 

It certainly looks like a Campanula. I'd love to know which species - do you have a close up of an open flower?

 

Hi @Markymark , Have a look at Campanula Persicifolia. It could be one of it's Hybrids.

 

The flowers aren’t open yet! As soon as they are I will post a pic. I will also route around the shed to see if I can find the ‘ticket’ thing. I usually store them.

 

Not C.persicifolia as the foliage is the wrong shape. There is one with similar blooms but wit this type of leaf and I'm boogered if I can remember its name

 

It was the buds I was going by Longk .

 

I would go for one of the C. Latifolia ( Giant Bellflower ) hybrids . It just looks to stiff to me to be C. Pyramidalis.

 

Hang on then. A staff member has put " solved " on this but I'm still none the wiser except that it could be a Campanula . Are you gonna tell us what it is then whoever you are
