    Hi
    I have a beautiful stone wall running along my garden and I want to grow Spring Gentian (think that's what they are ) along it to create an abundance of colour.
    • any tips on how I can establish the plant for next year?
    • Can I harvest seeds from existing plants? (see them every 20160610_120642.jpg where)
    • Can I replant already established plants?

    you can propagate it by division of rhizomes at the end of spring

    Hi David,

    The plant in your photo is a Campanula ( Bellflower ).

    I'd need a closer up piccy to be sure but it looks like either Campanula Garganica or Campanula Portenschlagiana.

    Both are way to grow from seed or by cuttings if you know someone with one.
