can you cultivate campanula - it falls over my pots and the torts love it , they reach up for it and I wanted to spread the love over other pots but not sure if can divide it? the rain has helped. I think rain water is so much better for plants than tap. My bug plants thrive on it , but survive on tap
So cold here its almost snowing !! CB

I have pulled campanula flowers by the handfull to feed the torts, if I see any woody rooty bits I just stick them somewhere in the garden the torts cant get too, and they root:0)
