I love campanulas (as you can see if you check my Category List on the right of the home page) and Campanula Medium 'White' is a little different to the others in my garden. It's more of a tube shape. It's quite splendid as the flowers are large and the stems are full of buds. It's growing right next to
Campanula persicifolia 'Alba', another large white campanula which also sports its flowers on a tall stem. I think that was a planting mistake, having the two flowering so close together at the same time, which may be remedied by moving one in autumn. The problem is, they seem quite happy where they are!

| Campanula Medium 'White' |
According to the label, Campanula Medium 'White' has lovely erect spikes of large bell-shaped white flowers growing from neat evergreen mounds of narrow leaves. It is suitable for growing in lightly shaded borders and cottage gardens with moist, fertile well-drained soils. It flowers from early summer. It grows to a height of 80cm (32in) and spread of 45cm (18in). It needs protection from slugs - don't they nearly all!!! I grow mine on the lower part of my garden where the soil is more moist. It has partial shade in that it is shady from about noon onwards.
