Collapse ▲Trial: Perennial
Years Trialed: 2003, 2004
Good Qualities
Year 1
Bright purple flower; Spectacular in bud, can’t wait till next year, nice blue color; Plants were in good shape on arrival, survived summer remarkably well, surprisingly well; Exceptional large flowers on long stems with very good vase life.
Year 2
Great blue color (3); Nice stem quality, there aren’t too many campanulas that will take our weather but this plant is not as robust or easy as ‘Champion’ so if you are looking for a bullet-proof campanula this probably isn’t it; Early large flowers.
Problems
Year 1
Deer love it; Few stems per plant in the first season, great plant if more stems in 2nd year.
Year 2
Stems were too loaded with flowers, limited uses because too spectacular in size, floppy stem; Specific insects or disease problems; Some browning on petals.

Comments
Year 1
Similar to Campanula ‘Cup & Saucer’ type; This plant is of moderate degree of quality, looking for better results next year; The plants may not be dead, just died back with the heat, will know in spring; Campanula plants did not survive continuous rains, in general campanula as a perennial has been very short lived and unsuccessful for me; Hope this plant is hardy and increases stem count next year, possibly great plant if it does.
Year 2
Did not get much response from retail or wholesaler; Three trialers reported on the vase life: 7, 12, and 13 days, respectively. Editor’s note: see separate postharvest article in this issue for more information.
