This is going to sound exceedingly stupid, but bear in mind that I
usually buy plugs of campanulas.
This one is not at all inexpensive, so I don't wish to repeat the
purchase.
Sooooo....how do you propogate this campanula?  And also, what is the
full botanical name?
(I just set up (as in, last night,) an educational exhibit for the Port
Angeles Flower Show.  The subject and title is 'Propogation'.  The show
gets judged this morning.)

Also, what do you know of a campanula called 'Cherry Bells'?  It's also
one I'm considering getting, but haven't heard anything about it.

Last year we grew a campanula takesiama....wow.  The bells were a full 3
inches long.  They weren't available this year, on the premise that they
reseed prolificly.  Oh, yeah?  They didn't in MY garden.  Maybe it had
something to do with that pre-emergent I used.
