I think thats the campanula that keeps its leaves all the year round, and I think its brilliant.

Well I'm as bad as you now Michelle because I've bought 2 of them baskets at Tescos, £2 each

The Campanulas are reduced and now only £1.79 but looking a bit limp. We bought 3 though, one of them is white double flowers

hmm I'm gonna have to take a look tomorrow, see what my Tesco has got

I went today ours didn't have any but I did manage to get 3 trays of Pansies 1.50 each!!
They were reduced!!

It says 'indoor plant' on the campanulas

zoe1 · 28-03-2009, 10:31 AM

Yes it does, thats why i asked about them going in my outdoor enclosure

**Alan1** · 28-03-2009, 10:45 AM

The thing about them being in the indoor enclosure though is they wouldn't stand the heat that is in there for very long. The one I got from homebase I kept out in the shed by the window then planted it outside and it hasn't died yet and these tesco ones are the same kind (apart from the white flower one)

I planted mine straight out, never looked to see if it was indoor or not. So not sure on yours, there are 300 different species of campanula

, I'm not sure if all are edible.

If you look up Campanula Monique which is what Tesco are calling it then you won't find much on it. However I'm pretty sure it's this one and can grow outside - Campanula portenschlagiana
