Common Name:  Cornish Bellflower
Family:  Campanulaceae
Author:  Willd.

Known Hazards:  None known

Mature Height:  0.7   Mature Width:  0.5

Habitat:  Naturalized on banks and rough ground, especially by railways, in southern England.

Cultivation Notes: Succeeds in any well-drained fertile soil[233], but prefers a moist well-drained rich sandy loam and a neutral or alkaline soil in full sun, though it also tolerates partial shade[1, 200, 208]. Plants are hardy to at least -15°c[200]. The species in this genus do not often hybridize and so seed can generally be relied upon to come true[221]. The plants are self-fertile[221]. Plants can be naturalized in the light dappled shade of a woodland[200]. They often self-sow freely[221]. There are some named forms selected for their ornamental value[200]. Members of this genus are rarely if ever troubled by browsing deer[233].
