    Hi

    I've been searching for a pink campanula but struggling to find one. Anyone know of any internet gardening sites that have them. I've done a search but can only find the blue ones. Thanks for your help

      I have this one in my garden. Easy to grow, and produces copious babies. It's called Campanula "Elizabeth" and I would heartily recommend it,

        I would prefer to buy it as a potted plant as they take 1 to 2 years to mature.

            Avoid the garden centres and seek out the proper nurseries in your area. GC's only stock what sells in large numbers.
            Refine your internet search using the correct species name, not just the Genus and common name. Campanula is a huge genus.
