Comments: This bellflower grows in sun or shade and is      
considered drought resistant.  The plant spreads by         
underground runners and may become rampant on good sites.   
Although a trailing plant about 8 inches tall, it can grow  
to 3 feet if the stems are supported.  The flowers are      
lavender blue and are more open and star shaped than other  
campanulas.  Flowering occurs in June, July, or August.     

Propagation:  Division may be done in spring or fall.       
Seed may be planted outdoors in late spring or early        
summer with flowering occurring the following year.  The    
seed is fine and may be hard to handle.  Seed planted       
indoors germinates in 2 to 3 weeks.
