Hi, Vivien,
I too, bought a double campanula carpatica here in France in the biggest
wholesale market of the country next to Paris where the parisians
flowershops come to buy their stuff.
It's name is 'Thorpedo'. It's the same plant in size and color than the
carpatica but with double flowers. Well, I didn't see any flowers this year
because they are regularly eaten by the slugs.
As we have no summer at all here in France, except for the riviera which is
a small area down in the south next to Italy, and having rain everyday,
gardeners have to constantly fight with the slug and snail families. As a
counterpart (I try to think positive in any case) the hydrangeas are
unbelievable, so beautiful and plenty of flowers.
People say that the weather is awful this year because it's a 13 moons year.
Old gardeners are used to plant, sow etc... in harmony with the moon
rotations.
I'm sorry but I sideslipped away from our previous subject !
Happy gardening
