Family:  Campanulaceae
Author:  Bieb.

Known Hazards:  None known

Mature Height:  1   Mature Width:  0.75

Habitat:  Naturalized in Britain in waste and rough ground, often in damp places.

Cultivation Notes: Succeeds in most fertile well-drained soils[233], though it prefers a moist but well-drained rich sandy loam and a neutral or alkaline soil in sun or partial shade[1, 200]. A very tolerant plant, thriving even when growing in unkempt grassy areas[233]. There are some named forms, selected for their ornamentl value[200]. Plants tend to be top-heavy and will need supports in windy gardens[233]. 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]. Members of this genus are rarely if ever troubled by browsing deer or rabbits[233].
