Title: Pink campanula
Post by: ChrisB on June 14, 2010, 07:49:46 PM

Hi,  I've had this campanula for quite a while now but I've never known its name.  It has foliage similar to C. alliarifolia but the books say the flowers for that are white, and this one has pink flowers.  I would be grateful if anyone can put a name to it for me.

Christine, have a look here:

Wondering if it might be Campanula makaschvilii ?


 Found a pic of it at  Majella Rochelle's site in Canada, too...http://www.mlarochelle.net/catalogue/catSDang.php

Clare agrees Maggi.
She has a number in pots ready for show - we hope! ::)
Described in the Enc. of Alpines as 'like alliarifolia but smaller in all its parts - pink flowers'.

I would think these would be looking great for the Pudsey show, Clare ( and Johnny!)

good luck with them!

Have a good day.... though I know you all, always, do!

Thanks Maggi.  Its a lovely thing and I plan to dig up a few seedlings once I see them flower, maybe I'll put a couple on the sale table at Belford at our AGM.  Didn't want to do that without a proper name though.
