ruweiss:
Dear friends, many thanks for the kind comments. If you plan to plant
your own troughs so keep in mind that it takes sometimes a long time
until the planting gives the display you desire. Usually snails and slugs
are no bigger problem than in the open garden if you control them with slug
pellets or by the biological way. Those in my garden seem to be real
gourmets, their favourite menue are all Campanulaceae, especially
Physoplexis comosa and mostly refuse Sempervivums and Saxifragas.

Luc Gilgemyn:
A series of truly wonderful troughs you have Rudi !
Wunderschön gemacht !!

Gerdk:
Here are some shots from today - the Dianthus  growing in a trough - the Campanula not - but in a similar condition

1. and 2. Dianthus subacaulis (?)- originally from Mt. Ventoux
3. Dianthus microlepis ssp. musalae
4. Campanula aucheri

A really pretty Dianthus subacaulis, Gerd, was it grown from seed collected from Mt Ventoux?

I love the deep blue bells of the Campanula aucheri - where does it come from?

Thank you! Yes, the Dianthus was raised from seeds from the site mentioned.

The Campanula species is from the Caucasus mountains - the plant itself from a
German nursery.
