Sammybelle, I’ve found they do well in a part-shade location, but don’t produce as many or as upright flowers in too shady of a location. I haven’t tried it in full direct sunlight yet.

My Haylodge came without any care instructions (or variety name, for that matter!) So if someone could tell me what the optimal light requirements are, I would be very grateful. Right now I have it planted in a pot in a spot where it begins getting sun at 11am and continues through the hot afternoon till about 4pm. I am in Massachusetts, Zone 5. Thank you!!

Jones in the Garden, they survived our winter outside, which went down colder than -40º C (-40º F). It is surprising, because they have such a delicate look.

Stella, I’ve been pleased with both of these double flowering Campanula. The Campanula ‘Haylodgensis’ and Campanula cochlearifolia ‘Elizabeth Oliver’ both survived a zone 3 winter and are doing well. ‘Elizabeth Oliver is in bloom right now and looking beautiful. Haylodgensis has many buds, and they are just about to open.

Some of the deciduous tree leaves fell on them to provide a natural mulch for the winter, but they didn’t receive any other protection.

Thank you so much. I was afraid this lovely double Campanuals will not survive our winter. I am so happy to find out I don’t have to bring them in. Thank you.

Marisa, both of these double flowering Campanula, the Campanula cochlearifolia ‘Elizabeth Oliver’ and Campanula ‘Haylodgensis’ are perennial. They both come back in a zone 3 garden, so they are hardy. Both are fairly long flowering in my garden too. They start in June and continue until fall. I do snip off the dead flowers, which might prolong the bloom time. The new growth shows fairly early in the spring.

I have a few pots of these lovely Double Flowering Campanula and I am wondering if they flower only once and die (the flower) or will they re-bloom. Should I trim off the dead flowersw?

Beth, most bellflowers handle part shade fine. Campanula portenschlagiana (Dalmation bellflower) and Campanula poscharskyana (Serbian bellflower) tolerate even more shade. Both of them are low growing spreaders. Campanula carpatica (carpathian bellflower), also fairly short, is almost as tolerant of medium shade, but does get more flowers in part shade.
I’ve found a number that thrive well in a cold climate. Here is a list from a previous post, http://northernshade.ca/2008/07/12/beautiful-bellflowers/, of bellflowers that do well in my zone 3 garden.

I just planted bellflowers and I like what I’m seeing so far. The double-flowering ones are lovely and I am particularly drawn to the white ones. Can they handle partial sun? I’ll be interested to hear if they survive winter as I’m sure your Canadian winters can be just as harsh as ours here in ND!
