Tissue culture is an expensive, highly specialized method of propagation
done by not very many labs around the country. I like to propagate the old
fashioned way--by seeds or cuttings. Since this is my first year experience
with C. Kent Belle, I don't have any info on its hardiness or longevity.
Generally speaking, Campanulas do very well here in the pacific northwest
(zone 8b) and have been long lived in my experience. Sorry, I can't speak
for colder, hotter or drier zones. This is a pretty new hybrid and it will
take awhile for it to make its way around the country and into the catalogs.
