Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Medicinal | Edible Uses Latin Name: Campanula punctata Common Name: Chinese rampion Family: Campanulaceae Author: Lam. Known Hazards: None known Mature Height: 0.35 Mature Width: 0.75 Habitat: Grassy slopes in lowland and low mountains all over Japan[58].
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]. Plants are hardy in most parts of Britain but are best grown in pots in a cold greenhouse[1]. Another report says that it is very well suited to the ornamental garden[200]. This species has proved to be difficult of cultivation in many gardens, though it spreads freely in others[221] and can become invasive[233]. It probably requires a very light soil[221]. Where successful, the plants usually produce an abundance of seed[221].
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].
There are several named forms selected for their ornamental value[200].
Members of this genus are rarely if ever troubled by browsing deer[233].
