Évi, I hope you do manage to revive the plant. Thanks for visiting.

Northern Shade, thank you for your answer. :) This week I will replant it, I hope, replanting will help. But if this trial fails, I will buy another one because it is really beautiful.
And I will check your website other times, as well. :)

Évi, it is unfortunate that your double Campanula isn’t doing well, and that the slugs have attacked it. If all of the leaves are totally gone, it might be that the plant won’t come back. If there is enough of the healthy plant left, you could replant it in another container with fresh soil, or try scrubbing the old pot down to get rid of any slug eggs. I would check what’s left of the plant for any signs of more slugs. Although they can handle part shade in the garden, they would need a bright window if they are inside. Also check that you don’t overwater it, and let the very top of the soil dry out a bit in between watering. Good luck with the plant, as they are a really beautiful flower.

Hello!

This is the first time I have read your website. I’ve found it accidentally. You can’t imagine how many times I searched for Campanula Haylodgensis but there were any information about it on the net, only about other kind of bellflowers. I have a question about this bellflower and I would be very happy if you could help me with your answer. Unfortunately I haven’t got any garden. I live in a block of flats and my plants grow in flowerpots , in my room. I got Campanula Haylodgensis from my boyfriend to my birthday so it means a lot for me. But unfortunately in spite of I watered it regularly, it started to shrivel up. What’s more, I have to get rid of two really tiny slugs from its black mould. Now it’s totally shriveled up, there is only a little part of its root on the black mould. What’s your opinion, despite it could I revive it? If I removed the root and put it to water and then planted in new black mould, would it resuscitate?
Sorry if my question was silly but I’m not an expert of plants.
Thank you for your answer in advance. :) Greetings from Hungary.

Geottski, it will make a great gift. It’s easy to care for, and the flowers are so pretty.

Gayle, you’re welcome. Campanula ‘Haylodgensis’ has such an elfin charm, that you wouldn’t think it was hardy. It has survived – 35° C (-31° F) temperatures in winter, and bloomed well. I love the flower colour, and the petal arrangement.

Pomona, both the tag and Graham Nicholls in his book Dwarf Campanulas say that it was raised at Haylodge, in Scotland, in 1885. It may have been around for a while, but I don’t see it available very much. For such an attractive plant, I’m surprised that it is not more widely offered. Graham Nicholls also states that the original might not have been a double.

Thank you for the award. It was thoughtful of you.

What a beautiful campanula; I wonder where the name came from? And as it happens, this is an appropriate post for me to tell you that I’ve just given you a MeMe award, citing your foliage ideas and campanula knowledge. If you want to accept it, go to http://www.tulipsinthewoods.com/cataloguebookwebsite-reviews/beautiful-blogs/ to check out how it works. If you don’t have the time and inclination, just bask in the knowledge of my appreciation.
