********** say the flowers I received are Canterbury Bells, but they look like NO PLANTS, out of thousands online, that are called Canterbury Bells. Please help me identify this plant. (Your can see the one for sell at www.**********.com search for Canterbury Bells.)
How about Campanula × haylodgensis. Personally, I think I would give that one a different common name. Not very bell like.
Thank you very much! That is EXACTLY it and I totally agree with you: it looks NOTHING like a bellflower and exactly like a tiny rose!
Actually these are comparatively tidy little doubles, that will appeal to a lot of people who might not be particularly charmed by the single version. Different flower styles have different uses. A potted specimen sold in a basket is not being used in the same way as a wild-looking form planted on a naturalistic rockery or in a meadow garden. One technique that has been suggested for placing garden flowers effectively is to use double forms near the house, semi-double a bit farther out and single ones on the edges. This is based on the naturalistic character of these flower styles, doubles being the least wild looking and singles the most.
Thank you! That is good information to have. This is my first Campanula - and love this variety Haylodgensis double blue!
