    Beautiful flowers, I love them.

    These are definitely a different genus to yours

    hopefully it's a little more appealing when it flowers😂


    They can look magnificent in big drifts.
    Near here they are growing wild along the bank of the river.
    There are many different Campanula (...common name bellflower, harebell etc.)
    from tiny ones to really tall ones.
    Thanks for the pics

    These are really beautiful
    I'm only familiar with the small domed type which flowers really briefly 

    Mine is blue so if it opens like that white one I'll be highly delighted

    The leaves on it are already done for and the buds aren't nice so altogether it's a bit of an eyesore which is why I thought it was a weed

    Looking forward to it flowering

     Can you plant it out in the garden, perennials do much better in the ground, they spread as well.

    There are hundreds of different Campanulas, and lots of variation in the flower.
    I only grow our Scottish bluebell - harebells [Campanula rotundifolia] now as the slugs leave it alone, unlike the others. 
    I agree with @Lyn - it really needs to be in the ground  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Snap.
    I only have room for small plants now.
    I love Campanula rotundifolia...common name harebells.
    So cute and dainty.
    2 types of leaves round and thin.
    The white form is rather pretty too.
    White ones were bought 9 years ago as excellent plug plants on e bay.
    I was thrilled to receive such strong plants.

    With the taller campanulas, they will continue to flower until you get bored with picking off the individual flowers as they die.
    In London. Keen but lazy.
