Campanula

**Alan1** · 05-02-2009, 08:29 PM

I was in Homebase and spotted some Campanula on sale there. May be fertiliser rich or pesticide sprayed at the moment but a repot and plenty of time and it should be okay in a couple of months. My only concern is that it appears to be a variey for indoors in winter so, is all Campanula okay for torts or just specific ones?

I think they are all suitable for torts, but not positive. That one does look exactly like the one my tort demolished tho

What about Campanula Pyramidalis is this ok? It's what I'm growing

**Alan1** · 05-02-2009, 08:53 PM

No, I don't think it's that one Linda. I have that one in the garden though, in fact I've got 5 different ones now

Here's a closer up pic of the one I just got. That colour on the pic is pretty accurate BTW, it's not a blue really. Well not light blue

Oh Linda tears of joy here. I've done something right at last

Linda, does the edibility rating of 0 mean they are toxic? Is that for humans or animals or both?

I have been googling like mad but still can't see the exact one
