Homeowner Forum / Lawn and Garden / May 2007Just posted pix of mystery plant in alt.binaries.pictures.gardens
This tall purple-blooming plant belongs to a friend, who wants to know what it is. I have no idea. Anyone? spampot <""spampot\"@NO SPAM orph.org"> expounded: >This tall purple-blooming plant belongs to a friend, who wants to know >what it is. I have no idea. Anyone? That looks like a capanula, and if it's the one I think it is (commonly known as Lady Bells) I'd rip it out quickly. But make sure you get the 'carrot' that'll be down about eight or more inches. Invasive, horrible things. "Oh, but they're so pretty" one of my clients says. My mother and I have spent days trying to rid her garden of them. They keep coming back.

Campanula is a pretty big family. Yes, my friend says that the cousin who gave it to her told her it spreads. > spampot <""spampot\"@NO SPAM orph.org"> expounded: > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > clients says.

I googled campanula tall purple invasive and that's what I came up with. spampot <""spampot\"@NO SPAM orph.org"> expounded: >> spampot <""spampot\"@NO SPAM orph.org"> expounded: >> [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] >Is it a campanula glomerata?

Glomerata was only marginally less invasive than its cousin. SignatureAnn, gardening in Zone 6a South of Boston, Massachusetts e-mail address is not checked ****************************** |
