Campanula, Peachleaf Bellflower 'Telham Beauty'

I have to agree with the othe gardener who loves this flower. It is absolutely gorgeous.

I just had to share it with others, and the comments were as glowing as mine. I have sandy soil and it seems to love it.

The flowers are a satiny pale blue which seems to have a sheen in the sun, and despite the previous comment, the flower-laden stalks are holding up quite well in my very windy (for my region) garden.

I hope it self-seeds, and would happy plant more plants if given the opportunity. This is quite literally the most stunning bellflower I have ever seen.
