One of my friends just gave me a beautiful double flowering campanula. She purchased it in Atlanta, GA. I live in Tampa, FL, which is where this beauty will live. Unfortunately, it did not come with any instructions. Would you please give me all the information necessary to keep this beautiful plant alive in our very hot climate? I specifically would like to know if I should keep it indoors, outside in a pot or outside in the ground. I’ve had it since mid-February and it is still full of tiny gorgeous blooms that resemble miniature periwinkle-blue roses! Thank you. MPA

Michelle, I purchased mine from Holes Greenhouse in Edmonton, Canada. Unfortunately, they don’t ship outside of Canada. I hope you find a local supplier, or one who mails to your area. Despite their delicate appearance, C. Haylodgensis has been very hardy for me, and they do look great in the garden.

I’m in Buffalo NY. I have been trying to find these flowers for 2 years now. Does anyone know where can I purchase these beautiful campanula haylodgensis flowers?

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.
