Campanula 'Purple Sensation' should be treated in a similar manner to 'Kent Belle'. Full growing advice will be posted on this site later in the year.

Thompson & Morgan are currently taking orders for delivery in the UK. Quantities are extremely limited for 2005 so it's first come first served. There should also be some plants available in retail stores in the USA, but this is not yet confirmed.

Breeding work

New possibilities from Kebra
By Miriam Young
Being so involved in the growing of new varieties, it’s only natural that Mark and Patrick should be curious as to how well they can do at creating a few of their own, so in 1999 they set up a breeding program for Delphiniums and Campanulas.
