I discovered a perfect flower for my mixed border - pink campanula. But it took me a couple of years to discover that it was a bienniel. It only blooms its second year, then it's gonzo. I have a number of plants growing now that will bloom next year. But I don't have any seeds to plant now for bloom in 2010. Might any of you folks have some?
For trading I have a lovely yellow columbine, some annual pink campanula (doesn't stand up straight like the bienniel, though), margharita yellow portulaca. I'm just listing those that have germinated for me reliably.
Or might you know where I could buy the seeds?
Pictures of the plant I am talking about are below.

P.S. I'm afraid this is a double post. Some communities don't like that, but I haven't seen it discussed here. The other post is in seed trading. But I wanted to communicate with folks who might have this plant but don't follow that forum.
Pink biennial campanula?
Hi Las. I love Canterbury bells too, but have only had success with them once, many years ago (and when I knew nothing about gardening, lol). I have 3 plants going that a friend started from seed and gave me. Hoping to see blooms on them
Swallowtail gardens has good seed at good prices, but I'm only seeing mixtures of pink, white, and blue from them.
